Do you want to make your own contribution to an environmentally-friendly future? Do you want to learn from specialists doing the most innovative research in their respective field of engineering? Then the CEP programme is just right for you! At a glance The research oriented Master’s degree programme in Clean Energy Processes (CEP) is designed to prepare graduates to work as engineers in industry or academia with regards to clean energy processes while focussing on energy…
- How it is organised
- Programme Structure The CEP programme is designed as a two-year Master's course of study that allows students to specialise in either energy technologies or energy systems. CEP is complemented by specialisation modules with included laboratory courses.
- Study abroad
- Stays abroad at one of FAU's 500 partner universities are encouraged.
- Internships
- Students of CEP are required to complete a 12-week internship in industry or at a scientific institution. The programme has close ties to both research and industry.
- Part-time work
- According to a study by the German National Association for Student Affairs, around 63 percent of all "first-time students" have a regular job — and not just during the holidays.
- Support for international students
- The Student Advice and Career Service (ZSB) is here to help you every step of the way before, during and after studying. We take the time to explore the various options open to you.
From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Erlangen
A small city with one big university, a medical-technology industry and a twelve-day beer festival on a hill.
Erlangen has about 120,000 residents and around 40,000 students at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU), so the university sets the rhythm of the place, with a palace garden where people sit on the lawns between lectures and the headquarters of Siemens…
