M.Sc. International Energy Economics
and Business Administration
After the attack by Russian troops on Ukraine on the night of 24 February 2022, there is bewilderment at the International Institute of Energy Policy and Energy Economics and the University of Leipzig. Our solidarity goes out to the entire Ukrainian population.
Due to the ongoing situation, we cannot restart our application process until we finished the necessary adjustments.

THE INSTITUTE AND MEEBA
The Secret of our Success
When the institute launched MEEBA together with the University of Leipzig in 2007, the program was a key factor in the academic and entrepreneurial cooperation of international energy companies.
Hand in hand with the European Energy Exchange, ONTRAS, TOTAL Germany, Wintershall, VNG and many more companies in the energy field, MEEBA offers its students both: academic expertise and practical insights and applications.
These are the four main pillars of our program:
