Description
Are you interested in the design of complex offshore energy systems or bioenergy systems? Studying the Master's programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering, you learn about developing intelligent and effective methods to utilise energy resources.During the Master's programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering at AAU Esbjerg, you work with the latest technologies within areas such as analysis and design of systems for offshore wind turbines, modelling of complex offshore systems, combustion technology and bio-energy systems. You learn to design, develop and manage effective methods for utilsation of energy ressources.
You choose one of two specialisations:
- Process Engineering and Combustion Technology
- Offshore Energy Systems
AAU collaborates with external companies, which means that you will have opportunity to do your semester projects in collaboration with these or other external companies and gain some real-life, hands-on experiences while you are studying.
Career Opportunities
Energy engineers have a wide range of career opportunities. As a graduate, you can work in project engineering, research, development and management in Danish and international industries or public institutions.Problem based learning and working in groups during your study programme will give you many useful skills that make you an attractive candidate on the job market. You know how to approach a problem and solve it in collaboration with other people, which is often how things are done in companies.
Examples of possible employers:
- Energy companies such as Vattenfall and Ørsted
- Process engineering companies such as B&W Vølund
- A wide range of producers of high efficiency energy devices such as Grundfos, Dantherm Power
- Consultancies involved in energy technology and systems
