Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)Network Technology and Grid Operation Gas/Water

The liberalisation of the energy market and the greater competitive challenges which this brings are making it even more important to treat sectors which used to be considered separately in a holistic way. Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has teamed up with Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences and the Netze BW training centre to offer the part-time Master programme in Network Technology and Grid Operation Gas/Water (M.Eng.). The programme was developed in conjunction with the Deutscher Verein des Gas- und Wasserfachs e. V. (DVGW), the VDE (FNN) and major energy suppliers with the aim of preparing practitioners to take on managerial roles in supply companies.
