Sustainable Energy Technology

MSc Programme

Sustainable Energy Technology includes renewable energy sources (such as solar

energy, wind energy, and energy from biomass) and technologies designed to improve
energy efficiency. A transition to Sustainable Energy is necessary to meet the growing
global demand for energy and to address the threat of climate change caused by
greenhouse gas emissions. This transition will require fundamental innovations
affecting the world’s energy landscape.

Engineers in Sustainable Energy Technology
have a broad knowledge of the field and can
act as the system integrators of the energy
Degree Master of Science transition. They can bring different energy
subsystems together into one system. Their
Starts September engineering skills include renewable energy
generation, distribution systems, and storage.

followed by in-depth courses in three out of six
profiles. These profiles are:
Wind Energy: Assessing wind resources.
Adapting wind turbines to their environment
and applying wind turbines in an (offshore) wind
energy system.
Solar Energy: Researching and developing
photovoltaic devices. Designing and
integrating photovoltaic systems in a variety of
applications.
