Study programme aims and objectives

- To provide an academic university education covering all of
the possibilities to minimize and optimize the use of energy based on thorough applied and practical interdisciplinary skills.
- The specialty of the new master’s curriculum is to educate engineers who are able to design, develop and improve materials for use in sustainable energy systems.
- The students can specialize in materials and in processes for sustainable energetics.
- Engineers will be able to solve problems related to energy processes connected with the conversion, transport, storage and utilization of energy in a sustainable way.
- On an advanced level, scientists will be educated to work on new materials for sustainable energetics.
- Specialization on materials will lead to an in-depth scientific understanding of this specialty.
- Specialization on processes will lead to a rather broad and general understanding of all aspects of sustainable energy conversion, transport, storage and use enabling the student to coordinate and lead specialists to work together to create optimized systems.
- To endow the graduated student with active and ethical behavior, and a tolerant attitude to different opinions. Show more...
