About us
Public-private education
MBA Renewables is a programme jointly offered by Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT) and the private Renewables Academy (RENAC). Our programme benefits significantly from the collaboration of a state University of Applied Sciences and a private academy that is – while entirely independent – closely tied to the German renewable energy and energy efficiency industry.
BHT brings its scientific and organisational know-how and provides lecturers for the ‘classical’ MBA topics. At the university the MBA is organised by the Institute of Distance Learning, which has been offering distance learning education since 1983. The institute collaborates closely with the faculty of Business Administration and Social Sciences, which brings its business administration and management know-how.
RENAC, being closely linked to the industry, brings know-how on renewable energy and energy efficiency, covering technology, financing, marketing, regulation and policy.

The motto of Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT) is ‘Study the Future!’, which perfectly encapsulates our aims. The university follows a practical hands-on teaching and applied research approach. BHT’s roots date back to the 19th century, but its present form was established in 1971 when several engineering colleges, including Beuth Engineering School, were united to create the Berliner Hochschule für Technik.
BHT offers the widest range of courses in applied engineering, applied sciences and applied economics in the whole Berlin region. The high quality of the courses is reflected in the numerous prizes awarded for excellent degree results.
