GPE NET is a two-year Master program in English, offered by the TU Berlin. The degree program offers comprehensive qualification in renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaics, solar thermal systems, wind energy, hydro power, bio energy and geo thermal systems. The major aims to prepare its students for the challenges of the booming renewable energies markets. The course of studies is oriented around the requirements in commercial practice and takes all steps of the value-creating process into account; from production of renewable energies components, planning /installation and operation of renewable power generation facilities, up to management, financing, law and marketing aspects of the renewables industry.
This research-oriented education with its semi-practical application in labs, the mandatory internship and the preparation and writing of the master thesis allow students to get an early start on assuming tasks bearing responsibility and prepare them for a fruitful future career in the industry.
GPE currently offers two majors: Manufacturing and Solar Technology. The Manufacturing major was introduced at the beginning of the GPE program in 1998. The Solar Technology was founded in 2007 as a way of developing technological potential in this area of international engineering education. The strong connection between the solar industry and the research institutes in the regions of Berlin and Brandenburg brings theory and practice together in one place.
The degree program GPE NET, is directed at engineers with a B.Sc., who are to occupy leadership positions in global renewable energy enterprises, specifically in the areas of production, management or engineering.
