About this program
Photovoltaics Engineering Science is a 3-semester Master’s program in English language, which requires a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or physics or related subjects. No professional experience is needed. It consists of 2 semesters of courses in renewable energy technology and applications, technology of crystalline silicon solar cells and modules, components of a PV system and their reliability, system design, monitoring, yield and performance analysis, energy storage systems, power converters, and electric grids and solar energy integration. In every semester, one elective has to be chosen (either German language or complementary technical subjects). A final research semester under supervision of a professor from the university concludes the program. The courses combine lectures with exercises, seminars, or practical laboratory work. The tuition in compact form will build upon a requested solid basis of knowledge in electrical engineering, physics, chemistry (or materials science), fundamentals of semiconductor technology, computer science, mathematics, and scientific methodology, which the applicant is expected to have acquired in a previous Bachelor's program. The research for the Master’s thesis can be performed in the PV laboratory of Anhalt University, at the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP (in the nearby city of Halle), or in any other PV laboratory or any PV company worldwide.
