European Master in Renewable Energy - Master

The 16-month programme is divided into three course sections.
During the core semester, students acquire a solid foundation in key renewable energy technologies and the socio-economic issues surrounding their deployment.
According to the chosen University, the core can be followed in French, English or Spanish.

The specialisation semester focuses on a particular technology. Currently available courses include: wind energy, photovoltaics, hybrid systems, grid integration, and Solar Thermal and Associated
Renewable Storage. For the updated list of specialisations: www.master.eurec.be
For the last six months, upon completion of the specialisation, students gain practical experience through a project undertaken in a company or a research centre. In December, each student comes to Brussels to present the results of the six-month project.

Die beruflichen Aussichten für Absolvent*innen sind heute nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch international sehr gut. Der entsprechende Markt wächst weiter. Deutsche Firmen werden in diesem Bereich zunehmend auch international aktiv. Z.Zt. sind Graduierte des "Renewable Energy"- Masterprogramms vornehmlich in der Industrie, bei Energieversorgern, in Ingenieur- und Planungsbüros sowie in Forschungseinrichtungen tätig. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch Möglichkeiten, in internationalen Organisationen und Projekten zu arbeiten. Einige Ehemalige sind mittlerweile selbstständig. Wegen der zahlreichen internationalen Kontakte und Beziehungen des Programms, aber vor allem auch wegen des bestehenden aktiven Alumni-Netzwerkes, hat sich eine Art weltweite Praktika- und Jobbörse im Bereich "Renewable Energy" entwickelt, von der neben den Studierenden auch mehr und mehr die Absolvent*innen des Programms profitieren.

Applicants are required to hold a Bachelor degree in engineering or a scientific discipline (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics…). The criteria may be waived for applicants with relevant work experience deemed equivalent to the academic admission requirements.
