Master’s Degree Program
Tution fees and costsThe program is subject to charge. The tui�on fee amounts to
5,000 Euros per Semester and 20,000 Euros for the en�re
dura�on of study. The rate covers all costs associated with
a�ending the program, yet it does not include housing costs or
living expenses. TU Berlin Campus El Gouna explicitly supports
its students in their efforts to obtain scholarships or other
sources of external funding. For updated informa�on on tui�on
fees and scholarship opportuni�es please refer to our website.
Application processThe advanced Master's degree program in energy Engineering
commences once a year in October with the intake of the new
batch of Master's students. The applica�on period for the
upcoming academic term opens at the beginning of the
respec�ve year. Please refer to our website for updated
informa�on on the applica�on process, deadlines and required
documents.
LocationsPerusing a Master's degree at TU Berlin Campus El Gouna offers
the excep�onal opportunity to study at two very dis�nct
loca�ons that differ tremendously not only in size but also in
their social, cultural, and ecological characteris�cs. This unique
set-up cons�tutes ideal condi�ons for students of Energy
Engineering to apply their newly gained knowledge to a wide
number of diverse condi�ons and environments.
The town of El Gouna, located 20 km north of Hurghada
Interna�onal Airport, is nestled charmingly between ar�ficial
lagoons on Egypt's stunning Red Sea coast. The recently opened
TU Berlin Campus El Gouna is sited in the center of this
reposeful environment, offering ideal study condi�ons through
its outstanding infrastructure and award-winning architecture.In sharp contrast to the tranquility of El Gouna, the German
capital of Berlin boosts with all the social and cultural ameni�es
of a modern metropolis. Located in the heart of this exi�ng city,
TU Berlin's mother campus, which accommodates some 32,000
students, displays an impressive and mo�va�ng backdrop for
academic advancement and research.

Program Curriculum
The master’s degree program in Energy Engineering
is divided into the following study areas:
The Master's degree program offers advanced educa�on for
students and young professionals holding a Bachelor's degree or
academic equivalent in engineering or natural sciences.The topics covered during the course of studies were tailor-
made on the basis of research projects and enduring
experiences of Technische Universität Berlin in the MENA
region. On comple�on of the program, successful students will
graduate with an official Master's of Science degree in Energy
Engineering from Technische Universität Berlin.
This program focuses on fundamental aspects of energy
engineering, including aspects of energy conversion and
renewable energies. While it integrates the latest scien�fic
developments and methods from faculty and researchers, it is
also highly applied in nature. The program fosters process-
orienta�on and interdisciplinary thinking among students. To
complement the classroom experience, interdisciplinary teams
of students from both this program and the Master's degree
programs in Urban Development and Water Engineering work
on projects that address typical theore�cal and applied
problems.
The Master's degree program in Energy Engineering begins each
winter semester (October –March). The majority of the courses
are held at the Campus El Gouna in Egypt. All Courses are taught
in English.
The main focal points of the curriculum are:- The basics of energy engineering, with par�cular a�en�on
to fundamental thermodynamic and economic aspects;
- Energy conversion techniques and integra�on of renewable
energies, with prac�cal experiments involving conven�onal
conversion systems (such as combus�on engine, gas
turbine and steam plant); s
- Refrigera�on and air condi�oning under special climate
condi�ons, especially solar cooling;
- Energy for buildings, especially primary energy
consump�on for hea�ng and cooling equipment, along
with calcula�on methods for planning of sophis�cated
homes and offices;
- Electrical energy engineering, especially power
engineering, with special considera�on of electrical drives
of wind power plants and the integra�on of renewable
energies;
- Energy economics and systems, focusing on complex
energy systems and the integra�on of renewable energy in
markets, ensuring a secure supply and commodity markets;
- So� skills, intercultural competence and research methods;
- Prac�cal interdisciplinary project and industry internship.
Admission to the program is limited to 30 students per year.
Students have the opportunity to choose among elec�ves, to
determine the subject of their project and their Master's thesis
individually. Students receive extensive mentoring and support
from professors and research associates of TU Berlin. Due to the
spacious campus they can work in their own project room.

Target group and requirementsAn academic background in the form of a relevant Bachelor’s
degree or equivalent is an obligatory requirement for all
Master’s programs at TU Berlin Campus El Gouna. As
professional experience is considered to be a valuable asset for
the course profile, prac�cal work experience in a subject related
field is mandatory as well. Addi�onal qualifica�ons, such as
social commitment, publica�ons, par�cipa�on in extra-curricular
academic events, language abili�es, and IT skills will also be
taken into considera�on.A qualifica�on in energy related engineering like mechanical,
electrical, or chemical engineering, or similar is required.
