Requirements

Academic Admission

The prerequisite for admission to the Master's programme in Geothermal Energy Systems is a qualifying degree (Bachelor's or Dipl-Ing degree) from a minimum seven semester (210 credit points) engineering or natural sciences programme with an energy focus, or a minimum seven semester (210 credit points) geosciences programme with a focus on geology, hydrogeology, geophysics, geomechanics, georesources or geothermal energy at a state or state-recognised university with: an overall grade of 2.5 (up to 2.59) or better an ECTS grade of B or better, or an overall grade worse than 2.5 but better than 3.0 (meaning 2.6 to 2.9), if a meaningful assessment of suitability for the Master's programme in Geothermal Energy Systems is submitted. The assessment must have been prepared by a university lecturer who taught the applicant in their first professionally qualifying degree. The examination board decides on the recognition of the assessment and admission to the programme. Graduates of a Bachelor's programme equivalent to 180 credit points are admitted to the Master's programme with the requirement that they must acquire additional alignment credits (usually 30 credit points) before registering for their Master's thesis. The decision on the academic comparability of degree programmes is made by the chair of the examination board. The chair of the examination board also determines whether students have to make up for any prerequisites as well as which prerequisites these applicants may have to make up for.
