Teaching

The Center for Energy Markets offers a broad and flexible course portfolio that lets you build a profile around your own interests. Courses range from introductory lectures on how energy markets and energy trading work, to advanced lectures and seminars on current topics such as decarbonization strategies, electricity markets, and energy technologies. Alongside these, you can take methods-oriented courses (for example in data science and machine learning) and courses that place energy markets in a wider economic context, such as network economics and international trade. Some lectures are organized in cooperation with industry partners, including Stadtwerke München and E.ON, and are taught by experienced industry experts.

Example Courses

Courses are offered at three levels: introductory, advanced, and advanced seminar. Which ones you take depends on your background and focus. Examples include:

  • Introductory: Energy Markets I and II, Challenges in Energy Markets, Network Economics I, International Trade I
  • Advanced: Energy Economics, Energy Trading, Network Economics II, International Trade II, Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning, Coding Lab: Deep Reinforcement Learning
  • Advanced seminars: Analysis of Decarbonization Strategies, Economics of Energy and Technology, Electricity Market Economics, Master Research Seminar

The program concludes with the Master Thesis. The graphic below shows a possible sequence of courses across the winter and summer terms.
