Power Engineering
M.Sc.
Overview
The master's program in Power Engineering deepens students' previous knowledge of energy technologies. Students are able to understand innovative methods, technologies and structures in the area of centralized and decentralized power generation. The aim is to develop and apply strategies for ecological, inexpensive and sustainable energy systems.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate you are able to deal independently with complex projects in the area of power generation and supply. You are familiar with power plant construction and technologies and are able to interface with all associated disciplines. You know the most important processes and methods relating to power generation, energy storage and transmission and can classify and assess these. Your expertise allows you to recognize innovations in the area of electrical power supply and to evaluate their potential.
When at work you are always conscious of the technical, ecological and economic dimensions of energy systems. You understand the competitive energy market and are able to apply economic assessment methods. Working in project teams, you assume responsibility and coordinate interdisciplinary cooperation between various specialized areas.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
The completion of the master's program opens up opportunities in the energy and power plant sectors. You are able to take up positions in the manufacture of both power plants and components, as well as at energy suppliers. Further opportunities arise in the form of research positions.
Structure
In addition to furthering core competencies in the areas of mechanical and electrical engineering, the master's program in Power Engineering offers students considerable freedom of choice. Modules are complemented by practical research.
- In the first semester, students' previous knowledge of various disciplines is deepened through core modules in the area of electrical and mechanical engineering.
- The second and third semesters are devoted to the deepening of specialist knowledge and to an individual focus in the context of elective modules. This phase also includes practical research, where students collaborate on current projects conducted at a teaching or research institute. A seminar deepens the knowledge acquired from the modules and offers a further opportunity to focus on a special topic of research.Students can also supplement their management competencies and self-development through modules from outside the discipline.
- The fourth semester is devoted to the master's thesis, where the accrued knowledge of the discipline and its methods converge in the handling of a major task.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In stage 1 of the aptitude assessment procedure, there is a difference between applicants who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country within the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” and those who have obtained their Bachelor’s degree outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention”.
Applicants for the Master's program in Power Engineering who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country outside the scope of the “Lisbon Convention” have to provide evidence of a successful participation in a TUM Test Power Engineering, graded with a point system.
For applicants for the Master's program in Power Engineering who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in a country within the scope of the “Lisbon Convention”, the grades obtained during the Bachelor's program and the Transcript of Records will be evaluated using a point system.
Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected, or invited to an interview.
