Sustainable Energy Systems

The Sustainable Energy Systems program offered by Universidade de Aveiro is structured in such a way as to foster an understanding of the processes, technologies, economics, and politics associated with energy systems within the context of a sustainable supply and demand of energy.

Key Facts

A multi- and cross-disciplinary approach is adopted to energy and environmental problems, their solutions and the economic and social dimensions of sustainable development.

It also focuses on the following issues: the processes of converting conventional and renewable energy resources, materials and technologies employed in the conversion and use of energy, methodologies of efficient energy use, instruments and measurement of energy and environmental innovation processes, energy and environmental policies, the concepts of sustainable development and the politics leading to sustainable development.The organisation of the program around optional modules allows the student, on completion of a first year core curriculum, to opt for a more specialised program, from amongst the principal areas of study on offer. In this way, students can broaden and extend their knowledge through a more specialised focus on a particular domain of Sustainable Energy Systems.

Courses included:

• Materials In Technology

• Energy Policies And Regulation

• Energy And Environment

• Conversion Of Conventional Energies

• Energy Management

• Conversion Of Renewable Energies
