Energy technology - in-depth practice

You can start your studies with in-depth practical experience in energy technology in the winter or summer semester. If you have already signed your contract before the start of your studies, you will first get to know your company during a short introductory phase of two to four weeks. Your studies will then begin directly at the university with the first lectures.

You will then alternate between theoretical and practical phases: You will study at THU during the lecture and examination periods, and gain valuable practical experience at the company during the lecture-free periods. You will also complete your practical semester and your Bachelor's thesis directly at your partner company.
