MSc in Sustainable Energy

About the programme

As a student at the Master's programme in Sustainable Energy, you will see what possibilities there are to reduce our energy consumption, make it’s generation more sustainable and thereby reduce our global CO2 emissions.

Over the past 40 years there has been abundance of cheap energy in our part of the western world, and there has been little focus on energy savings or reducing environmental and climate impacts from the suppliers' side.
