Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering

The possibility to choose the specifics of studies

The students are provided with an opportunity to choose two more specialized groups of study modules (alternatives) in addition to the basic modules of the study program, i.e. Control Systems of Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Sources.

Great knowledge in the field of renewable energy engineering

During the studies, the students deepen their knowledge of the use of environment-friendly energy types, application of solar, wind, hydro-, and biofuel power plants, fuel elements, heat pump technologies in the fields of electricity and heat. When performing the practical tasks, they learn how to design, develop, and use electricity and heat sources, energy devices and apply information technologies.
