Energy Conversion
Energy production is in transition. Energy consumption is increasing globally, and energy production currently causes significant environmental impacts from greenhouse gases to particle emissions.
It is clear that we need more energy and that we need clean energy. The Master's programme in Energy Conversion gives you a comprehensive understanding of how different energy production and conversion methods relate to each other and act as components in energy systems.
In this programme, you will learn to understand how different production/conversion methods are used and how they compare with each other in different applications.
In this programme, you will understand the technical, environmental and economic aspects of energy conversion and how they compare in producing sustainable and feasible energy for society.
After completing this Master's programme, you will possess:
- professional skills to work as a specialist in energy technology;
- competence to analyse, design and select energy conversion processes for different applications, taking technological, economic, environmental and societal aspects into account;
- knowledge of how to apply and develop mathematical models to solve energy technology problems and design energy technology related equipment, plants, processes and systems;
- managerial skills to manage and organise both national and international projects.
- ECTS transcript – If you are still completing your Bachelor’s degree, upload an ECTS transcript showing the subjects you have studied, your grades, and the number of credits awarded. Your Bachelor’s diploma must be uploaded later, as soon as you receive it.
- Bachelor’s diploma – If you have already graduated, upload your Bachelor’s diploma. A separate ECTS transcript is not required.
Note: Your Bachelor’s degree must be in the same or a related field as the Master’s programme you are applying for. The university will check whether you have completed enough relevant subjects and ECTS credits.

- Bachelor of Science in Technology OR closely related to Technology completed in a University
OR
- Bachelor of Engineering completed in a University of Applied Sciences
AND you must have completed
- a sufficient amount of studies in Energy Technology
The Admissions Committee for the programme decides what constitutes a sufficient number of these studies and checks the studies during the academic evaluation.
Our graduates work in many fields. However, they most typically build careers in research and development, energy production and/or sales, or as sales engineers, managers, consultants, and civil servants. The global energy sector is extensive and offers plenty of opportunities to work in large companies, SMEs, government institutions or NGOs.
You will also obtain a firm basis and competences to continue your studies in doctoral programmes.
