Iceland's leading experts and academic scholars in the utilization of renewable energy resources participate in teaching and student advising in the RES's M.Sc. Degree in Renewable Energy Science.
In addition, a large number of world-renowned professors from foreign technical universities participate in the Program.
The M.Sc. Program is an intensive one-year program of study, and carries 90 ECTS credits. All instruction and correspondence is in English. The year is divided up into three trimesters each carrying
30 ECTS credits. All M.Sc. courses are in the form of condensed teaching modules of 1-3 week duration. Students attend lectures for up to 4 lecture hours each day, in addition to daily lab/computer
exercises and demonstrations in the utilization of renewable energy.
The M.Sc. Degree Program covers all types of renewable energy. Strong emphasis is put on technical and practical aspects of energy utilization (technology and research methodology) and on energy
efficiency, but also on minimizing environmental impacts of energy use, on energy economics, and energy and environmental policies.
Admitted students must have as a minimum a B.Sc. Degree in Engineering (e.g., mechanical, electrical, civil, industrial, environmental etc.) or Physical Sciences (e.g., chemistry, physics, geology/geophysics, biotechnology, etc.).
