Semester Abroad in the Master Sustainable Energy
In the Master's programme Sustainable Energy, you have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad – either through a partner university, by organising the stay independently, or as part of an internship.
For more information about an international stay, please visit the International Office of EUF.
Option 1: Studying at a Partner University
Students of the M.Eng. Sustainable Energy programme have the opportunity to complete a semester abroad at a partner university. Two options are available:
-
Programme-Specific Partner Universities: Currently, there are partnerships with the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil), the Pontifical Xavierian University (Colombia), and Mälardalen University (Sweden). We continuously expand programme-specific partnerships to offer you attractive exchange opportunities.
-
Other Partner Universities of EUF: Additionally, you can choose from the broader network of partner universities at EUF, even if they are not specifically tailored to the programme. It is important to ensure in advance that the course selection aligns with the content of your programme.
An up-to-date overview of the partner universities for the M.Eng. Sustainable Energy can be found under on the page of the International Office. Please refer to the websites of the respective partner universities for information on semester dates and course content.
Option 2: Self-Organised Semester Abroad
If you prefer a specific university or internship, you can also organise your study abroad experience independently – either for a semester or as an internship, as a so-called freemover. In this case, you are responsible for the research, application, and funding.
Please note that freemover stays may incur tuition fees, which are not covered by Erasmus+ in contrast to partner universities.
Once you have found a suitable university, please contact the programme coordination to align the academic recognition of your studies. For organisational and administrative questions, the International Center will support you.
Option 3: Internship Abroad
Alternatively, you can voluntarily undertake an internship abroad. This allows you to experience the country-specific professional world and encounter entirely different aspects of life and social groups compared to studying at a foreign university. International internships are therefore highly valued by potential future employers. Through internships and international jobs, you can also acquire professional language skills. Awareness of other cultures and the experiences gained in different countries are additional assets that can make it easier to transition into your professional career.
If you wish to study at a partner university in the autumn or spring semester, you can apply here for one or more preferred universities (multiple selections are possible). Please be aware of the application deadlines for each partner university. The selection is made by the International Center at EUF. If you are offered a place, you must accept it within the specified deadline, as it may otherwise be allocated to someone else.
In consultation with the programme coordination, you will then arrange a Learning Agreement that includes your preferred modules at the partner university. This will allow for the later recognition of the credits earned. If you have any questions about the application process, the International Center is happy to assist you.
An international stay at one of our partner universities can be financially and organisationally supported through the Erasmus+ programme. This applies to all European as well as a large portion of the non-European partner universities of EUF. Further information on funding opportunities, such as the PROMOS scholarship, can be found here.
Additionally, the EUM/EnWi Association of Energy Sciences annually awards scholarships for stays abroad.
For more information, please visit the website of the International Office at EUF.
Information about the recognition of credits earned abroad can be found under For Students.

Master Thesis
Information about the Master’s Thesis
The Master's thesis is a central component of the M.A. Sustainable Energy and marks the conclusion of your studies. It offers you the opportunity to work on a self-chosen or assigned topic scientifically and to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during your studies. Below are all the key details at a glance.
Here you will find an overview of past Master's theses, which provide insight into the variety of topics and approaches within the programme.
Please refer to the examination and study regulations (PStO) and the module catalogue for all binding rules. If you have any questions, the programme coordination is available to assist you at any time.
- The Master's thesis is assessed by two examiners (see § 8 PStO).
- The final grade is composed of the written thesis (2/3) and the oral defence (viva) (1/3).
- The oral defense provides you with the opportunity to present and discuss your thesis. It also serves as a means of deepening and critically reflecting on your results.
- The allowed time officially begins upon the registration of your thesis (see § 11 (2) PStO).
- The thesis must be completed and submitted within 5 months of registration.
- An extension of the processing time is only possible in justified exceptional cases, such as illness or unforeseen circumstances. The application for an extension of the Master's thesis must be submitted in a timely manner to and approved by the examination board (see § 11 (2) PStO).
- The topic selection is made in consultation with your supervisor. You can propose your own topics or choose a topic from the university’s research areas.
- A change of topic is possible within the first four weeks after registration, provided there is a valid reason (see § 11 (1) PStO).
Here you will find an overview of completed Master's theses from the Sustainable Energy programme.
The supervision of the Master's thesis is provided by authorised examiners according to the regulations of the examination rules:
- University lecturers: Supervision can be carried out by professors or private lecturers.
- Doctoral researchers: Doctoral researchers are also authorised examiners, without the need for additional university lecturers to be involved.
- External examiners: In exceptional cases, supervision can be provided by external examiners. These must be approved by the examination board. At least one supervisor must have taught in the relevant subject area (see § 8 (1) PStO).
The choice of supervisor is made in consultation with the programme coordination. Early contact is recommended to jointly define the topic and methodology.
The Master's thesis must be submitted on time in the required format. This includes:
- A digital version (e.g., PDF format), which must be submitted via upload or email.
- Printed copies, if required by the supervisor (see § 11 (2) PStO).
After submission, you will receive a written confirmation of the receipt of your thesis.
Important notes regarding submission:
- For postal delivery, the receipt date at the student services (SPA) will be considered the submission date, not the postmark.
- The Master's thesis must include a signed declaration of originality (§11 (2), RaPO §24 (7)).
- For printed copies, the signature must be handwritten (no digital signatures).
- The digital version must not contain personal data; the signature is not required here.
We would like to publish your Master's thesis on our website to provide future students with an insight into the topics and outcomes of the Sustainable Energy programme.
If you would like to present your thesis in the overview of Master's theses, you can submit a consent form for publication. The corresponding form can be found on our website or obtained from the student office.
Publication is, of course, voluntary and can be revoked at any time.
