Renewable Energy Engineering
Master´s degree program at UAS Technikum Wien
The application deadline for applicants within the EU is May 31, 2025, for applicants outside the EU March 31, 2025.
The Master’s Degree Program for the Energy Systems of the Future
The programme focuses on issues relating to energy technology and economics: the expansion of renewable energies and their integration into urban energy systems, intelligent grids for efficient energy distribution, the harmonisation of generation and consumption and holistic approaches for a sustainable energy supply. Energy savings potentials as well as possible applications for renewable energies and the necessary technical and economic-legal framework conditions are assessed in the porgramme.

Career Prospects
Requirements
Master’s degree programs build on a completed bachelor’s degree program and allow students to specialize or focus on topics in more detail or to expand their existing expertise.
You must meet subject-matter requirements to be admitted to the Renewable Energy Engineering master’s degree program. Prerequisites include a bachelor’s degree from a UAS in a relevant subject matter or an equivalent degree from a recognized post-secondary educational institution (at least 180 ECTS credits) in Austria or another country.
If basic equivalence has been established except for a few missing prerequisites, the program director can require students to take exams to establish full equivalence. These exams are taken during the master’s program.
Preparation Possibility
The e-genius platform, co-developed by the degree program, offers numerous free learning fields ranging from renewable energy to urban development.
