International Year of Sustainable Energy for All

Degree Programmes in Energy

Energy drives you. Light bulbs, iPads, vacuum cleaners, cars, airplanes, and industrial machines: nearly everything you do and use in your daily life requires energy in one form or another. From the Industrial Revolution onwards, energy has been society’s engine of progress and prosperity. Today, energy faces economic, political and environmental challenges: society needs affordable energy from reliable energy sources that are managed in a sustainable way. Hydropower, biomass, renewable energy sources and smart energy networks allow cleaner energy technologies to complement or replace scarce fossil fuels and nuclear power. As an energy engineer, you approach energy from multiple perspectives and combine knowledge from different disciplines (electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, economics, regulatory aspects and others) to find solutions that ensure that energy remains a driving force in your and millions of others’ lives.
