Global energy consumption is increasing, and at the same time, environmental impacts of all human-related operations need to be reduced.

Understanding complex systems and modern technologies is essential for designing and utilising clean and efficient energy production.

The Master’s Programme in Sustainable Energy Systems gives you a comprehensive understanding of how different, sustainable and modern energy systems work and what needs to be considered when they are designed and utilised.

In this programme, you will understand the technical requirements and limitations of the various technologies needed for modern and sustainable energy systems.

After completion of the Master’s programme, you will possess:

  • Professional skills to work as a specialist in energy technology.
  • Competence to design and analyse modern, sustainable energy systems and their integration into existing energy production and consumption systems from the technological, economic, environmental and societal perspectives.
  • Knowledge on how to apply mathematical and physical fundaments to model, solve and analyse energy technology related problems and challenges and design relevant technology, processes and systems.
  • Managerial skills to manage a team and to act as a part of the project team.
