Technische Universität (TU) Berlin

The MBL Energy Law offers lawyers, engineers, economists and other professionals an excellent opportunity to specialise in the field of Energy Law. Students with a non-legal background will have the opportunity to develop new skills in a legal environment, enabling them to use their prior knowledge and expertise in a new field, while students with legal experience will be able to specialise in the area of energy, while also becoming acquainted with the technical and economic foundations of energy law.

The curriculum covers all areas of the value chains in the electricity and gas sectors. Students will examine the European legal framework from upstream generation right down to the supply of energy to households and businesses, including transmission and distribution. The program will assess the salient aspects of EU competition law, regulatory law as well as providing a deep understanding of the technical and economic fundamentals of energy and network regulation. The program will also cover aspects of international law, such as investment and trade law, climate law as well as gaining an understanding of energy regulation in other energy markets such as Norway, Russia and the United States. 

A unique aspect of the MBL Energy Law is the various lecturers who come from around the world to teach in the program. Our lecturers have diverse backgrounds, much like our students, and range from lawyers at law firms in Germany, to regulators at national and European regulatory authorities, to policymakers in the European Commission and professors of energy law at universities. Each lecturer offers their expertise to our students, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of their specialisation in the energy law field, as well as offering practical advice of their experiences in working in the sector.

As well as the many lectures and tutorials at the EUREF Campus, regular excursions are built into our program's schedule. Since we believe a hands-on experience strengthens the learning process and prepares students for their future employment, students will visit different sites such as the largest electricity stock exchange in continental Europe, the EEX in Leipzig, the energy intensive undertaking AURUBIS in Hamburg, the PV manufacturer ALEO Solar in Prenzlau, the Vattenfall’s CHP plant in Berlin or the network operator 50Hertz in Berlin.

In cooperation with the Kutafin University of Moscow the TU Berlin also offers a German-Russian Double Master Program “European and International Energy Law”. For more information Click here.
