Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering (SESE)

The programes in Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering (SESE) offered by the school of MEWES are designed for both Master’s and PhD levels. Both programmes aim to provide appropriate knowledge and skills in sustainable energy science and engineering within manufacturing sector, service industries and business enterprises. Graduates of the Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering will be able to work in a variety of areas, including private sector, energy consultancies and renewable start-up companies, international financial organizations and development agencies (e.g. World Bank, UNDP), governmental organizations (e.g. ministry of energy), energy think-tanks and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) dealing with clean energy solutions. Under this program, research and thesis mode is only offered at PhD level.
