Renewable Energy and Electrical Power Engineering (Double degree)
The transition to carbon-neutral energy systems is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Renewable Energy and Electrical Power Engineering combines renewable energy technologies with modern electrical power systems to provide solutions for a sustainable, secure, and efficient energy future.
In this double degree programme, you will learn how renewable energy sources, electricity networks, energy storage, and smart technologies can be integrated into reliable energy systems. Your expertise will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy security, and accelerating the global clean energy transition.
What will you learn?
In this programme, you will gain interdisciplinary expertise in sustainable electrical and energy solutions. After completing the programme, you will be able to:
- design and analyse renewable energy and electrical power systems;
- evaluate the technical, economic and environmental performance of energy solutions;
- apply advanced methods and tools to solve real-world energy challenges;
- work effectively in international and multidisciplinary environments;
- develop innovative solutions that support the global energy transition.
Degree structure
The programme is completed in two years (120 ECTS credits) and leads to two master's degrees.
You will spend your first year at LUT University and your second year at Leibniz University Hannover (Germany). The studies cover topics such as renewable energy systems, electrical power engineering, energy storage, power electronics, smart grids and sustainable energy technologies.
The programme combines high-quality teaching, practical applications and research-based learning in an international environment.
- 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.
Important! View the full requirements on the university’s official website. Requirements may vary depending where you completed your bachelor education.
