About this programme

Energy scarcity and environmental problems are major challenges. The combination of technical, strategic, social and environmental issues encountered in the energy transition demands a significant multidisciplinary approach. It requires more senior technical professionals and highly educated engineers who can work with experts from other disciplines and carry out applied scientific research to come up with practical solutions. That’s what you’ll be learning! You will contribute to the energy transition by applied research, consultancy work or providing strategy and policy advice, all with the focus on renewable energy technologies.

This programme offers you a great way to start or boost your career in the energy sector. You will become a renewable energy engineer with a fundamental understanding of the technologies and techniques in the energy sector.

Why chose the European Master in Renewable Energy at Hanze UAS?

  • Learning community: You work and learn in close co-operation with your peers from all over the world and from the other energy-related master's programmes, professional practitioners, researchers and education staff using real life projects.
  • High-end research facilities: The Energy Transition Centre (EnTranCe) and Energy Academy Europe (EAE) offer endless research, testing and cooperation opportunities, which current energy master students give high recommendations.
  • International experience: You are required to study in at least two European countries and work on international assignments from real-life clients.
  • EUREC: This programme is an EUREC initiative. You’ll become part of the network, which has an excellent reputation and strong alumni policy. A great foundation for your international career!

Course overview

Semester 1 - Core

During the core semester, you acquire a solid foundation in the technical and engineering aspects related to innovative energy system design and implementation and their various related interdisciplinary aspects. Theoretical courses which also examine the socioeconomic issues surrounding the deployment of these technologies are supported by laboratory workshops. The studies for the core can be done in French, English or Spanish.

For the core you can choose one of the following universities:

Semester 2 - Specialisation

In the second semester you specialise in a chosen technology at a university. The specialisations are taught in English. For the specialisation you can choose one of the following universities:

Semester 3 - Thesis

The third and last semester you will apply your knowledge and skills in a research project at a company or a research centre. Based on this research you will write your thesis under the supervision of (a core professor), (a professor of the specialisation and) a professor from the project provider.

You have to spend either semester 2 or semester 3 in a different country than the country of your core University.
