32 Sustainable Energy MSc Degree Programs

Climate change has become possibly the world’s most serious problem, which needs our urgent attention. The problem is complex and multi-dimensional. Energy and its management are the key enablers in addressing not only the climate challenge but also other sustainable development goals. This master's program is tailored for you as an engineer or technologist to investigate and understand symbiotic and systemic relations between energy, climate, and sustainable development, and to implement innovative solutions.

In this master track, you will focus on becoming an authority on Sustainable Energy Systems. Sustainable and renewable energy systems are crucial to the energy transition. Engineers are needed to develop and fine-tune these systems. Want to master up your engineering skills and specialize in this rewarding new field?

As the renewable energy sector continues to grow there is a need for trained individuals to plan, implement, and manage new renewable energy projects. This MSc Sustainable Energy Solutions will provide you with the theoretical and practical tools to place you at the center of such ventures.

Given the critical demand for adept professionals to address the challenges of climate change and energy transition, our MSc Sustainable Energy Futures programme provides comprehensive training. It equips students to take on key roles in sustainable energy and environmental preservation.

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.

Climate change, the global consumption of energy and the use of fossil fuels to provide us with heat, power and transportation are all engineering challenges which need addressing now and in the future. It is clear that solutions to these long-term problems ­– ensuring the best use of resources and developing new more sustainable ways to produce and use energy – will require graduates who can work in an increasingly multidisciplinary environment. This course will offer you the knowledge and expertise you will need in relation to MSc sustainable energy and the environmental impact of energy systems.

The MSc in Power Engineering and Sustainable Energy equips you with a sound knowledge of semiconductor devices and technologies, advanced power electronics, and advanced power systems.

The joint master's programme in Environomical Pathways for Sustainable Energy Systems equips students with skills to minimise the environmental impact of current and future energy systems. Students gain a broad knowledge of energy systems and follow a specialisation in, for example, Energy Efficiency, Solar Systems or Offshore Energy. Students also acquire skills in innovation and commerce. Eight universities offer the programme through EIT InnoEnergy.

You will develop an understanding of how we can achieve more sustainable development and decarbonisation through sustainable energy, more efficient production, and organisational change. Society, industry, and policymakers recognise that change is required at all levels to address the challenges of climate change and sustainable development and meet the needs of future generations.

Global warming and declining fossil-fuel resources have placed the development and implementation of sustainable energy systems at the top of the political agenda worldwide. Major investments in new energy technologies and systems will revolutionize our societies and economies in the coming decades. With unique research facilities and instruction from world-leading researchers and industry professionals, this state-of-the-art education will prepare you to operate at the forefront of that revolution.

Sustainability is the key driver of our future development, especially when it comes to energy utilization and consumption. As natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce or more expensive, the sustainable use of energy is becoming more and more important.

Our program, accredited by the Technical University of Dortmund, provides you with the essential skills to plan future-oriented sites and infrastructure for sustainable energy systems, with a particular focus on hydrogen technology.

Renewable energy from wind, water, solar, and biomass plays an increasing role both nationally as well as internationally. If you hold a Bachelor's degree in engineering, you can attain insight into the potential of renewable energy processes and energy systems of the future.

The programme combines urban planning and energy management. Students gain in-depth engineering skills and innovation management techniques and study at two of the four European universities that offer the programme through EIT InnoEnergy. Graduates play a critical role in shaping a rapidly urbanising world and contribute to creating smarter, more sustainable and resource-efficient communities.

The program, accredited by the Ruhr-University Bochum, focuses on business, economic, and energy market issues – topics directly linked to the challenges and trends shaping our time.
