Course content
The practice-oriented Master's course in Process
Engineering and Energy Technology (PEET) is
designed as a consecutive course over three
semesters (90 CPS) and as a non-consecutive
course over four semesters (120 CPS).
Internationality as well as the application of
modern teaching methods are to the fore:
special focus is placed on the teaching of key
competencies.

This Process Engineering Master's course
focuses on current topics such as renewable
energy, energy efficiency and environmental
technology. Successful completion of the
Master's course with the title of "Master of
Science" entitles the graduate to study for a
doctorate (PhD).

Course objectives
An increasing demand for variety, quality and
quantity of process engineering solutions and
the necessity for ever greater economisation in
production processes has led to the rapid
development of special processes, apparatus
and plant components. Interesting engineering
tasks are waiting in research and industry, now
and in future, in development, construction and
operation of environmentally friendly, safe and
resource-efficient process technologies to
produce marketable products. Process
engineers, working more and more in an
international framework, will confront these
challenges in cooperation with engineers from
other disciplines, fundamental scientists,
economists and ecologists in an interdisciplinary
team and will have to solve highly interesting
tasks of great future importance. The
international Master's course in PEET at the
University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven
does justice to all these criteria. The Master's
qualification from this course permits graduates
to enter the higher levels of civil service or to
take up a senior position in business, e.g. as
production manager, head of development or
product manager.
Tuition fees
No tuition fees, studying at the University of
Applied Sciences Bremerhaven is free of charge.
However, students who have already studied for
more than 14 semesters will have to pay 500
EUR per semester.
Enrolment fees
285 EUR per semester. The fee includes a
semester ticket covering public transport in the
Bremerhaven and Bremen metropolitan area.
Costs of living
Living costs in Bremerhaven are rather low in
comparison to other German cities. The
estimated amount of 650-750 EUR per month
should be sufficient to cover basic expenditures.
However, the amount of money spent by the
student depends very strongly on her/his
standard of living.
Here is a rough estimation of monthly costs:
- Health insurance: 77.90 EUR (for non-EU
applicants)
- Rent: 170-300 EUR
- Food and clothing: 250 EUR
- Telephone and internet: 40 EUR

- Books: 50 EUR
Funding

during the first semester (the second semester
is the first supported semester).
Language
requirements
Applicants must provide proof of their German
and English skills.
German: level A 1 (or equivalent)

(paper-based), 213 (computer-based) or 110
(internet-based))
Academic
requirements
An applicant wishing to be admitted to the
Process Engineering and Energy Technology
(PEET) Master's course must fulfil the following
requirements:
a) Evidence of a first qualification permitting
entry into a profession (Bachelor's degree or
Diploma from a university or similar foreign
higher education institution) with at least the
average grade of "Good" (2.5) (ECTS Grade A to
B-) in a subject relevant to the PEET Master's
course. Applicants who have completed a
Bachelor's course of six semesters with 180
ECTS Credit Points must provide evidence of a
relevant industrial practical placement lasting at
least 20 weeks prior to the course as well as
submitting a written scientific report on it in
English.
b) Good language skills
c) Submission of references from two persons
who can appraise the academic abilities and
motivation of the applicant
d) A written presentation of the applicant's own
motivation for studying one of the course
programmes

About the university

The University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven

can look back on over 100 years of educational
tradition. Its predecessor institutions are the
Geestemnde School of Navigation, established

research activities of the courses are targeted at
what is needed in practice and give new
impetus through future-oriented developments.
Many Bachelor's and Master's theses are
compiled in close cooperation with regional
businesses and contribute to strengthening the
competitiveness of the economy. This mutual
exchange of ideas however also has a
stimulating effect on teaching.
