You want to actively shape the energy transition? Energy research combines many different scientific disciplines, including natural sciences, engineering, the humanities and social sciences.

Study energy

There are many ways to contribute to the energy transition and many undergraduate programmes at TU Darmstadt addressing energy topics from different angles. However, all these programmes have one thing in common: They are forward-looking, challenging and offer excellent career opportunities in the energy sector.

Prof. Dr. Florian Steinke gives an overview of how researchers at the TU Darmstadt tackle the energy transition. Prospective students get orientation and insights into possible fields of study related to energy.

The talk is in German.

Buildings are an important aspect of this transitions and consequently of great interest to researchers investigating how best to insulate and refurbish buildings, their design, heat supply, lighting, including geothermal energy and urban planning.
