| Course summary | The Master’s programme in Sustainable Energy Technology (SET) enables you to become an engineer with in-depth knowledge on renewable energy technologies. |
| Course description | The world is becoming acutely aware of the urgent need to resolve the many issues associated with energy consumption and climate change. Limited availability of fossil fuels and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions call for fundamental innovations in the global energy landscape. Sustainable energy and renewable energy technologies, such as bio-energy, solar energy, wind energy and hydrogen, play a key role in tackling these issues, especially given people’s determination to maintain or improve their living standards. This requires experts who combine specialist knowledge with broader social awareness to deliver high-tech solutions with a human touch. The master’s programme in Sustainable Energy Technology is interlinked with leading research in developing, optimizing and integrating renewable energy sources such as solar, windwater, biomass and innovative energy technology such as fuel cells and smart grids. New technologies have to be integrated into existing socio-technological networks. Tomorrow’s engineers and researchers will explore new forms of energy distribution, new energy market structures and smarter ways to satisfy the demands of our complex society. |
| Study subjects | The master programme SET is divided in two years. In the first year, students follow courses. In most cases, these courses include a practical part in which the acquired knowledge is applied. In the first semester, courses deal with knowledge homologation of students with different backgrounds. Also system thinking and the key concepts regarding energy sources, supply and consumption are introduced. |
| Course objectives | Graduate students have a broad understanding of the energy sector, including for example theoretical concepts and models of innovation processes. They are able to evaluate different energy options within their technological and social context and to test their feasibility. Next to this, they are an expert in at least one sub-area e.g. solar, wind, hydrogen, biomass energy or intelligent electrical networks, transitions and niche management. |
