Introduction/Curriculum
This study programme prepares students for the task to develop and evaluate concepts, how to supply modern societies with energy. It does so from a mainly scientific perspective, but provides an overview over the corresponding technologies and their sustainability, as well. The study programme takes four years. It ends with the degree Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). This degree certifies the professional qualification described above. Graduates can enter corresponding professions, e.g. in research and development for energy conversion or storage, in energy management, or in energy consulting. A consecutive research oriented Master programme Energy Science of one year duration is being developed. Open-mindedness with respect to the global aspects of the energy issue and the ability to communicate on an international level are indispensable parts of the professional profile for the graduates of the study programme Energy Science. Therefore the third year must be spent at a partner university abroad. The programme for the third year has been worked out together with Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in Hungary. This cooperation is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). A similar programme has been agreed with the Hongkong Baptist University in Hongkong; further cooperation agreements with other partners are presently being negotiated. The study programme is structured in modules as shown in the diagram above. The courses belonging to a module, their contents, and the qualifications imparted, are described in this handbook. Two different units are used to quantify the estimated workload of a course, working hours (h) respectively ECTS-Credits (Cr) according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System. One ECTS-Credit corresponds to 30 h. During the first two years most courses are given in German, whereas the regular course language in the third and fourth year is English. Module descriptions in this handbook are given in the respective language. A few courses in English during the first two years, in particular the seminar within module Energy Science I prepare the students for studying abroad in the third year. For the sake of more transparency, modules that impart related qualifications have been grouped into four competence areas in the diagram above: The competence area Energy Science deals with interdisciplinary aspects of energy supply, ranging from the microscopic processes underlying energy conversion, storage and trans-port, to technological, economic and sustainability considerations. The module Environmental Aspects belongs to this competence area, too. Two advanced laboratory courses with a total of 18 experiments (12 in Environmental Aspects and 6 in Energy Science IV) are included. In the competence area Physics and Chemistry broad knowledge of the scientific and technological basics is gained during the first two years. This includes basic laboratory courses both in physics and chemistry. The subsequent modules Advanced Science I – III contain electives, by which the students can expand their scientific and technological background towards current research for an individual choice of subjects.

(BME)
In the competence area Theory the students acquire a deeper understanding of the natural laws, their approximations, their relations and their general structure. Each module gives also an introduction into the mathematical methods needed. Here, however, the focus is on how to apply these methods, rather than on their proof. Finally the competence area Other Qualifications gives, besides a programming and a language course, insight into a free choice of electives other than science or engineering. Moreover, the students demonstrate in an individual Bachelor thesis that they are able to apply insight and advanced scientific methods to a problem within the context of energy science, and to write a competent, consistent and comprehensible thesis about it within 12 weeks. Besides lectures, the study programme includes problem solving classes, three seminars and an industrial internship, where experience with scientific methods and also soft skills are gained.

Understanding critical phenomena and their connection to renormalization group belongs to the basic knowledge of modern solid state physicists. The course builds upon statistical physics and quantum mechanics courses and introduces the notions of scale invariance and renormalization group while avoiding the usual heavy field theoretical formalism.
The course is organized along the following topics:
critical phenomena (simple systems, universality, mean field theory), the renormalization group (the one-dimensional Ising model, Wilson’s renormalization group transformation, fixed points, critical dimensions, correlation functions), phase diagrams and scaling (cross-over phenomena, finite size scaling, dimensional cross-overs, quantum criticality), the perturbative scaling approach (fixed point Hamiltonian, operator product expansion, epsilon-expansion, anisotropy), low-dimensional systems (lower critical dimension, the XY model, Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, the O(n) model in 2+ ε.
