About this programme

The Master Sustainable Energy Systems programme prepares students for work in the broad field of energy system transformation towards a climate-neutral, economic and supply-secure future. The main technical perspective targets the transition of the electrical power system based on renewable energy. Knowledge of its future design is supplemented by competencies in sustainability and digitalisation for smart grids and markets. The course of study comprises the design, modelling, control and operation of electrical energy systems while considering sustainability perspectives. The programme also prepares the students in distributed renewable generation, sector coupling with all energy sectors, and related energy market designs. All courses are taught in English. The Master's programme also includes an industry internship, which gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to practical problems. Furthermore, the programme also offers joint work in seminars, tutorials, labs, and project groups which will strengthen the students' competencies. In the final semester, the students work on their individual Master's theses full-time for six months. The programme provides an international environment with students from various countries, broadening their horizons and enabling them to interact respectfully within international teams and organisations.
