All types of renewable energy are covered in the RES program - geothermal energy (high- and low temperature; the use of Kalina technology), hydropower, wind energy, tidal power, solar power, biomass and fuel cells (use of hydrogen as future energy carrier in the transportation sector). The program puts strong emphasis on technical and practical aspects of energy utilization, but also on environmental matters as it relates to energy use, sustainable energy development, energy economics, and energy and environmental policies.
All teaching modules are of 2-3 week duration. Students attend lectures up to 4 hours each day, in addition to daily lab-exercises and frequent site visits. The one-year MSc
program has three semesters. For additional information, please visit RES Graduate School.
