Masters Course for Engineers opens Future leaders of the solar industry are being trained through the GPE Solar Masters Course at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB). Those interested in enrolling for the course starting in October 2009 should apply before 30 June.The practical relevance of the course is ensured through cooperation of the TUB with the Renewables Academy AG (RENAC). The students can try "hands-on" planning, installation, operation and monitoring of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems in the RENAC Training Center. Here, components and professional training materials from leading equipment manufacturers including are available. Laboratory equipment for electrical science and simulation software are also on offer for practical experiments. For many GPE Solar students, a main reason for applying for the Masters at the TU Berlin is this powerful cooperation between the solar technology industry and the course faculty. The close ties with manufacturers, designers and system providers ensure that the course covers the latest practice-based developments in solar technology as well as German engineering know-how. “There is no Masters like the GPE Solar in Italy. I also wanted to study solar technology in English, so that I can sell my knowledge anywhere in the world. Since Germany was the first country in Europe to start investing significant funds in solar technology, I naturally decided to come to Berlin. The cooperation with RENAC is another good point: for its connections with the industry and professionalism.” were the reasons Angelo Coscia from Italy gave for his specialization in solar technology here.After two years, students graduate with a Master of Science degree. The graduates can use this degree to access the diverse career opportunities that are opening in the thriving solar market. However students from the first year of the GPE Solar are also planning careers as, for example, consultants, project managers, design engineers or in the field of energy-performance contracting.
