Innovative Sustainable Energy

The Innovative Sustainable Energyprogram atTechnical University of Denmark (DTU) is a Nordic Five Tech (N5T) program. This means that you get to study at two out of five of the most prominent Nordic universities: Aalto University School of Science in Finland, Technical University of Denmark, KTH Royal Institute of Technology or Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.

The Innovative Sustainable Energy program at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) provides a state-of-the- art education in the fields of conventional and renewable energy sources like power generation, solar energy, biomass energy, wind power, geothermal power, and energy utilization in the built environment by means of economically and environmentally sustainable systems and technologies. As a student you will learn to apply advanced methods are to identify, describe, quantify and find solutions to a diverse range of energy engineering problems.

Students will gain proficiency in energy technology fundamentals, energy project procurement and implementation, conventional and renewable energy conversion technologies, environmental protection issues, as well as in crucial phases of policy generation.

Career opportunities

• As an Innovative Sustainable Energy Engineer there are plenty of opportunities to find a job. Energy engineering related companies have an increasing potential to offer, not only in conventional energy technologies but also in the increasing business of renewable energies.
• The energy industry is a growing business worldwide. The program provides you with the necessary knowledge to have a career in both large energy companies and small local businesses. Your work tasks can be energy engineering related, in energy counselling or several others. You will be able to make key decisions which can contribute to solve climate problems.
• Graduating the MSc program with a high grade point average may also qualify you for admission to PhD studies—either as an industrial PhD with concurrent employment in a company, or as a regular PhD student.

There are six study tracks in the program. Depending of your area of interest and your background, you can choose between the following study tracks:

• Bio Energy

• Energy Systems

• Heat and Power Engineering

• Solar Cell Systems and Materials

• System Integration of Wind Power
