WHAT YOU WILL STUDY

The two-year program combines core courses with elective course groups, allowing you to shape a study path aligned with your interests and skills, while maintaining a strong academic foundation.

  • First Year: You will gain essential skills in heat transfer processes, measurement and control of energy systems, thermo-fluid dynamics simulation, and structural analysis of plant components.
    Elective courses allow you to deepen your understanding of innovative energy systems, smart heating and cooling networks, energy economics, and electricity generation technologies.
  • Second Year: Your training continues with subjects focused on the design of renewable energy systems, components and technologies for energy efficiency, and sustainable fuel use in industry.
    Elective courses include advanced topics such as numerical modeling of combustion, finite element analysis of structural components, and acoustics in civil and industrial environments.
    In the second semester, the schedule is intentionally lighter (two courses only), giving you time to start your thesis project and complete your studies efficiently.
