Master Programme in Energy Engineering, Energy Online 60 credits
The purpose of the degree programme is to provide state-of-the-art education in the fields of energy engineering
by means of economically and environmentally sustainable systems and technologies.
The term sustainable energy engineering com prises
a wide array of practices, policies and technologies
(conventional and renewable/alternative) aimed at
providing energy at the least financial, environmental
and social cost.
A strong emphasis is placed on dealing with
energy engineering tasks with due consideration of
technical, environmental and socioeconomic issues.
Advanced methods are applied to identify, describe,
quantify and find solutions to a diverse range of
energy engineering problems. The programme
provides proficiency in project design and implementation,
operation and maintenance, as well as
in crucial phases of policy generation.
