Widening employability in Green Energies: The Technische Universität Berlin and the Renewables Academy (RENAC) provide renewable energy experts with the new Master of Science (MSc.) “Global Production Engineering for New Energy Technologies”
After the successful cooperation with the MSc. “Global Production
Engineering Solar” (GPE Solar), the Technische
Universität (TU) Berlin and the German company Renewables
Academy (RENAC) have given a further step into preparing engineers
for the latest renewable energy challenges with the launching of the
international MSc. “GPE
New Energy Technologies” (GPE NET). In October 2015, students from
Latin America, Middle East, Asia and Europe started their first semester
in Berlin (Germany).
GPE NET allows students to become experts in a specific renewable energy
technology, or focus on the big picture, getting an insight into
different technologies and their implementation fields. GPE NET covers
all aspects of the industrial value chain: from product development and
production, over the planning, installation and operation of
applications up to financing, law and management. Hot topics such as
grid integration of renewable energy are also addressed.
According to Prof. Holger Kohl, GPE NET dean, “with the increasing
competitiveness of these technologies and the global energy demand,
growth rates in the renewable energy markets will remain positive in the
foreseeable future, meaning good job opportunities for well-trained
engineers” “For instance, in Germany, the Energiewende is
motivating private companies, research institutes and organisations to
develop solutions to accomplish the energy transition”, added Mr.
Berthold Breid, RENAC CEO. “Also, many other countries are implementing
policies to include renewable energy in their energy mix”
GPE NET provides managerial and technical competences from Germany, a
leading country in the renewable energy sector, to access international
job markets and support the development of local and national energy
generation infrastructure. To conclude the degree, students have to
undertake an internship of at least nine weeks. Additionally, field
trips to production plants and international fairs are part of the
academic program.
The TU
Berlin is an internationally acclaimed university distinguished by
its research and teaching excellence, highly qualified graduates and
modern management.
RENAC,
a globally operating expert on training for renewable energies and
energy efficiency, serves as bridge between students and the industry.

NET website. Registration is possible annually from October to March.
