The Energy and Semiconductor Research Laboratory (German acronym EHF) at Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg is a member of EUREC since 2002. Energy research is performed in Oldenburg since 1977 and an international postgraduate programme on renewable energy (PPRE) was established in 1987, with more than 300 M.Sc. graduates so far.
EUREC Master students will benefit from the research and teaching experience accumulated over the last decades. The peculiarity of Oldenburg, and key to its international attraction, is the fact that all courses are taught in English, thus making this German university accessible beyond the language barrier.
