Sustainable Energy Technology

The global population keeps growing, and our energy consumption is rising rapidly. Fossil fuels are slowly but surely running out, and the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly clear. That’s why there’s a growing need for smart, sustainable solutions – and for engineers who can both design and implement them. In this Master’s, you will dive into sustainable energy technology while developing the skills needed to bring real change to our energy systems. This programme offers a unique combination of technological and socio-economic aspects. You will explore how energy is generated, distributed and stored – and how to cleverly connect different technologies. Additionally, you will gain expertise in the wider framework of today’s energy markets, entrepreneurship, business models and management. This way, you will grow into a real energy expert: someone who can implement sustainable energy within both existing and future networks.
