Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Technologies and Systems

Renewable energy from wind, water, solar, and biomass plays an increasing role both nationally as well as internationally. If you hold a Bachelor's degree in engineering, you can attain insight into the potential of renewable energy processes and energy systems of the future.

The importance of renewable energy taken from wind, water, the sun, and biomass is increasingly being understood both nationally and internationally. This master's program offers students holding a bachelor's degree in engineering insight into the potential of renewable energy systems and processes of the future. Today, biofuels are the most widely used and important sources of renewable energy in Sweden, the EU, and large parts of the wider world. However, wind and solar energy are on the rise. In this program, you will learn about what considerations to take when handling biofuels and which processes and systems should be accounted for when planning for future energy production. You will also get ideas for making our society more efficient in energy use. In addition to planning for future energy systems and processes, you will discover the principles of project management and research methods. Prepare for an international career in this quickly growing industry.

Degree

Upon successful completion of the program, the student is awarded the Master of Science (120 credits) with a specialization in Sustainable Energy Processes and Systems. The main field of Study: Bioenergy Technology

This is Linnaeus University

Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in the southeast of Sweden. We are located in two nature-loving cities, one by the Baltic Sea and one surrounded by lakes in the greenest city in Europe. More facts about Linnaeus University:

• 44,000 enrolled students;
• 2,200 enrolled international students;
• 6th largest university in Sweden in terms of the number of students;
• 780 partner universities in more than 80 countries;
• 100-degree programs on the first-cycle level, 8 of them taught in English;
• 80-degree programs on the second cycle level, 35 of them taught in English.

Växjö

Roughly 15 minutes by bike from the city center, you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. It is like a small society with a university, student accommodation, and student life. Here you become part of a creative knowledge environment.

What will you come across on an excursion in Växjö – the city of contrasts? You will find good restaurants, a celebrated hockey team, and cozy cafés where you can enjoy a latte with lingonberry flavor. In Växjö, beautiful nature is always just around the corner; the city is surrounded by lakes and forests. Students like the combination of the city center and the active student life on campus. Your dream of the future starts here!
