Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:
- 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés. - 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation. - 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

The objective of the course is to gain the competence to understand the current scientific topics in the field of photovoltaic and battery research and to have the opportunity to familiarise oneself with a special area of research. After a short compact course on the basics of photovoltaics, the current module technology, production of modules and topics from systems engineering will be covered. Another focus of the course is battery technology.
Compétences préalables
Basics in Physics, Electronics
Objectifs d'apprentissage
The aim of the course is to gain an in-depth understanding of photovoltaic and battery technology. Students gain a broad knowledge of the subject area and are able to apply the knowledge they have acquired to assess specific practical issues. After completing the course, students should be able to understand the content of scientific conferences in the field of photovoltaics and battery technology and provide new impulses for the further development of the technology themselves.
