Introduction
We humans take it for granted that we will always have access to energy. At any time, in unlimited quantities and almost anywhere. The future of our energy supply lies in renewable energies such as wind power, geothermal energy or solar energy. In the Energy Systems Engineering degree programme at the European Campus Rottal-Inn in Pfarrkirchen, you will be trained as an engineer for energy systems technology and deal with energy generation, conversion, storage, use and transport. This enables you to shape the change in the energy supply system away from fossil raw materials as an energy source towards renewable energies. With your help, for example, new supply concepts are created, you deal with decentralised energy systems, you ensure the security of the energy supply or further develop the intelligent power grid. Everything for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy industry.

Program Outcome
As a student of Energy Systems Engineering, you will be trained as an Engineer with the skills to convert power supplies from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy, involved in a range of areas such as power generation, conversion, transport, usage, and storage. You will learn through practical and theoretical instruction to explore the technical and economic aspects of current energy systems, to gain in-depth cross-sectional expertise in the supply, integration, and storage of future energy systems. Your future could be at the forefront of this exciting transitional period, you could shape the development of emerging power supply concepts, be involved in the decentralization of energy systems, or work on the continued development of smart power grids.
As an Engineer with excellent global qualification, you could create a sustainable and more environmentally friendly power industry for the future.
Scholarships and Funding
There are several opportunities to partially finance your studies through a scholarship, particuarly if you are an ambitious or talented student. However, please be informed that we only give scholarships to students who already have studied at DIT at least one semester. The grades students achieve here at DIT as well as extracurricular activities are relevant and considered during the evaluation of the eligibility for scholarships.
