The master's programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering provides advanced education in solar energy, power generation, energy utilisation and transformation of energy systems. Students gain a multidisciplinary foundation in energy engineering and skills to manage complex energy-related problems with a lifecycle perspective. Graduates lead the development in the energy sector with skills and insights into industrial challenges, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Master’s Degree program in Energy Engineering provides solid skills necessary to operate with management and R&D functions in the sustainable production, distribution, and use of energy in its various forms (mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical). Energy engineers will be able to interact with environmental, economic, and regulatory aspects. The programme also prepares professionals in the field of renewable sources and major energy conversions, with in-depth studies on combined plants, cogeneration and nuclear (fusion and fission) plants, energy in buildings, heating and cooling systems. The Programme has received the EUR-ACE accreditation (European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education ) that provides a set of standards to identify high-quality Engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.

The focus of the Master Degree Programme in Energy Engineering is to educate professionals in engineering and business management in the field of international energy engineering projects.

Energy Engineering, thought in both ENGLISH AND ITALIAN, is at the heart of global challenges related to ecological transition, sustainability and technological innovation. The master's degree program trains highly qualified engineers, able to design, manage and innovate systems for the production, conversion and use of energy, with attention to efficiency, environmental impact, use of renewable energy and interdisciplinary integration.

This course in Master in Energy Engineering is the result of the increasing spreading of technologies connected with the spread generation and the optimized management of energy and the consequent increasing demand for engineers able to develop and propose efficient and innovative technological solutions to deal with the issues deriving from the progressive depletion of fossil non-renewable sources and the environmental impacts due to the use of energy.

The Inter-University Master in Energy Engineering is offered jointly by the University of Trento, Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, and the Free University of Bolzano, Faculty of Engineering. 

The Master of Science in Engineering: Energy lies at the heart of a viable future. The programme addresses the main issues of mechanical and electrical engineering while offering students the chance to make a lasting impact on the global stage.

By completing this one-year programme (60 ECTS), you gain advanced scientific and technical knowledge and insights into the sustainable production of energy, the efficiency of energy conversion, the optimisation of energy storage, and the intelligent management of various energy systems.

The Master in Energy Resource Engineering (MERE) program is concerned with the production, transformation, and impacts of energy resources, including renewable and fossil fuels. The MERE provides students with knowledge, methods, and tools relevant to the challenges that will be necessary to face in a near future and that allow the characterization and modeling of the properties and processes that occur in the earth's subsurface, especially those related to fluids flow, such as water, hydrocarbon, and gas.

The Master's degree program in Environmental, Process, and Energy Engineering provides comprehensive knowledge to design both existing plants and new concepts in a sustainable manner. Graduates have excellent career opportunities in the field of "Green Technologies". Economic and law topics taught in the curriculum round out the master's program from a fundamentally sound and international perspective.

This program has the objective of preparing technicians able to actively follow and influence technological developments, working effectively in a competitive and multi-disciplinary industrial context. Various application sectors can be identified within the program, such as Production and conversion of different forms of energy, Civil and industrial thermomechanics and the hydrocarbon sector focused on the oil and gas industry.

This course meets an urgent need for specialists in advanced MSc Electrical Energy Systems that are needed to design and build secure, reliable, low-carbon and affordable energy systems in developed and developing countries around the world. The programme maintains a particular focus on the integration of renewable generation into electricity transmission and distribution networks and will prepare you for a new era of truly ‘smart’ grids.

This MSc Programme in Mechanical Engineering - Energy, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration provide a solid professional engineering specialization, strengthening the graduates’ innovation capacities as well as their ability to integrate knowledge in complex problem-solving with firm autonomy.
