Key Summary
Introduction
The “ Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Engineering; study program reflects the strong demand for hydrogen technology specialists in the European labor market. This program is a Master's program culminating with the Czech title Ing. (equivalent to an MSc.). Applicants should hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Technology, Chemical Engineering, or an equivalent degree. The program is taught in English (minimum B2 level competency).
Core theoretical subjects are complemented with hands-on laboratory experiments with project-oriented instruction, equipping graduates with practical problem-solving skills they can use throughout their future careers. Students receive instruction in the basic and specialized technologies associated with the use of hydrogen in the energy, transport, and chemical commercial sectors. Project-based tasks and presentations further prepare graduates for the workplace. Students can specialize in hydrogen production, hydrogen utilization, or the mathematical modeling of processes/entire systems.
