Program Overview

The Bachelor E-Mobility and Green Energy (B.Eng.) at RWU University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten is a bilingual, international program perfect for tech-savvy students passionate about sustainable tech, electric vehicles, and renewable energy—think strategic thinkers who want secure careers while protecting the planet. Over seven semesters, you'll gain hands-on skills in green technologies, starting in English (semesters 1-4) with free German prep, including a mandatory internship, and wrapping up with a globally recognized B.Eng. degree that positions you to innovate in e-mobility and energy storage.

Curriculum Structure
semester 1-3 (Basic Study Period): You'll build a strong foundation in electrical and automotive engineering basics, diving into natural sciences, engineering principles, and a foreign language to prepare for real-world challenges. Key modules like Electromobility and Regenerative Energies introduce you to electric drives, renewable sources, and energy systems through lectures and lab work, while exploring components like capacitors, coils, and Maxwell's equations to understand electromagnetic fundamentals. This phase sets you up with essential programming in C and project skills, making complex concepts like induction in motors feel exciting and practical.

semester 4 (Transition to Specialization): As you move into the main study period, you'll choose between electromobility or green energies concentrations, deepening knowledge with electives alongside core topics like power electronics and digital signal processing. Hands-on projects sharpen your ability to tackle hybrids, traffic telematics, and energy management, blending theory with labs using RWU's electromobility facilities and even an electric vehicle for experiments.

semester 5 (Practical Semester): This is where it gets real—you'll spend the entire semester working independently in a regional company on live e-mobility or energy projects, gaining invaluable industry experience and networking. It's designed to bridge classroom learning with professional demands, boosting your resume with practical insights into automation and real tech applications.

semester 6-7 (Advanced Specialization and Thesis): Back on campus, you'll refine expertise in your focus area with modules like Renewable Energies, Control Engineering & Practical Course, and Microcontroller & Practical Course, plus electives such as Traffic and Telematics or Embedded Systems. The program culminates in a Scientific Project, seminar on scientific work, and your Bachelor Thesis (12 ECTS), where you'll apply everything to cutting-edge innovations, all while improving German for semesters 6-7.

Focus areas: Electric vehicle drives, regenerative energies, energy storage, hybrids in motor vehicles, traffic telematics, microcontrollers, power electronics, and digital signal processing.

Learning outcomes: Graduates think strategically and act responsibly, developing innovative green technologies for environmental protection in mobility; they master electromagnetic principles, induction in motors/generators, Maxwell's equations, and practical skills in labs/projects for economy, safety, and efficiency in electric cars.

Professional alignment (accreditation): Accredited per RWU's Bachelor Study and Examination Regulations, awarding the internationally recognized Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) after 7 semesters and 210 ECTS; emphasizes practice-oriented training with labs, internships, and industry projects.

Reputation (employability rankings): RWU's applied sciences focus delivers strong employability through regional company partnerships, modern electromobility labs, and direct professional insights—no specific QS/Guardian rankings noted, but alumni secure roles in high-demand green tech fields.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

In the Bachelor E-Mobility and Green Energy (B.Eng.) at Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences (RWU), you'll build real-world skills right from the start through hands-on practical courses, projects, and a full dedicated internship semester.
