Hydrogen Technology Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences

English

With the threat of climate change and raw material supply limits being reached, the pressure on industry to change its energy and materials base has increased. Developing new ideas and implementing them in day-to-day operations has become a key competence for companies to succeed in their target markets. This results in the need for well-trained and highly qualified professionals with a solid technological background in the new technologies.

The Master's programme in Hydrogen Technology provides students with an application-oriented education within the megatrend of hydrogen. The aim is to deepen and specialise knowledge in the field of production, storage, transport and application of hydrogen and all related areas. After graduation, students will be able to occupy responsible positions as technical experts or project managers.

The study programme offers modules for the acquisition of in-depth technological as well as application-oriented and competence-based knowledge. The theoretical basics are supplemented by project work in the field of hydrogen technology and current challenges of applied research and development projects.

The Burghausen campus is located within the ChemDelta Bavaria, and it combines a strong scientific education with close contacts to companies. The companies within the ChemDelta Bavaria are leaders in the development of hydrogen technologies and play a key role in shaping the transformation of the chemical industry towards a sustainable value chain.
