Master Programme in Energy Systems 60 credits
The purpose of the programme is to apply system perspectives for the analyses of different energy systems focusing on
the rational use of energy and conversion to renewable energy sources.
This goal comprises increasing the efficiency of the systems for the best possible rational use of resources such as
labour, capital, raw-material and energy as well as warding off threatening environmental changes.
A strong emphasis is placed on dealing with
energy engineering tasks with due consideration
of technical, environmental and socioeconomic
issues. Advanced optimization and simulation as
well as measurement techniques are applied to
identify, describe, quantify and find solutions to a
diverse range of energy engineering problems. The
major provide proficiency in project design and
implementation, operation and maintenance, as well
as in crucial phases of policy generation.
This study major has a total duration of nine
months taught courses (60 credits) including a
thesis project work (15 credits). The programme
is open to applicants from all over the world. The
programme language is English.

Upon successful completion and presentation/
defense of Thesis project, students are awarded the
Master of Engineering in the field of Energy Systems.
