- Programme syllabus and outline
Do you want to solve future energy challenges through new technologies and entrepreneurship? The Master's Programme in Energy Technologies (ENTECH) gives you knowledge of a wide range of energy technologies and skills in problem solving, innovation and leadership. Upon completion of your studies, you will have a broad personal network within the European energy sector and knowledge to lead innovation in industry or in your own startup company.
Why this programme?
The EIT InnoEnergy Master's Programme in Energy Technologies (ENTECH) offers more than 200 individual courses that cover a comprehensive range of energy technologies and related subjects. Divided into series of modules, the programme is perfect for students who want to design their own study path.
This is a joint programme, offering collaboration of four top technical European universities, a start-up accelerator and EIT InnoEnergy, Europe's largest network for sustainable energy.
During your studies you will gain in-depth knowledge of new energy technologies, particularly sustainable energy technologies and their economic, social, legal and ecological aspects combined with knowledge and skills in innovation and entrepreneurship. Compared to traditional engineering degrees, the Master's Programme in Energy Technologies offers a special focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as product development and how innovation can be realised in commercial contexts.
In the two-year programme, you study at two of the partner universities. The first year you can study at Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal or Uppsala University in Sweden. In the second year, all students are required to change the study location to either: Grenoble INP in France, Uppsala University in Sweden, KIT: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany or Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal. Please note that you cannot study in the same location for two years as the programme's mobility aspect means that students receive a double degree, one from each university they have chosen to study at.
The final semester is dedicated to your degree project, which most students choose to do in different parts of Europe.
