PPRE / Postgraduate Programmes Renewable Energy
SuRE (formerly known as PPRE) is a regular two-year MSc programme that teaches a broad fundament in renewable energy. It is designed for scientists and engineers intending to pursue a professional career in this field. During the studies students either follow a more application or a more science oriented career path. The research groups RE as well as the worldwide cooperation network of the programme offers various opportunities.
The European Master in Renewable Energy is directed towards engineers that want to specialise in one of the renewable energy technologies, such as Wind Energy, Photovoltaics, Ocean Energy, Solar Thermal or Grid Integration. Beginning their studies at the University of Oldenburg, students change for the second semester to a respective university of specialisation.
