The Erasmus Mundus programme in Environomical Pathways for Sustainable Energy Systems (SELECT) offers advanced education in the field of sustainable energy systems for the future. SELECT aims at delivering education for high competency and quality engineering skills in the field, including industrial interaction throughout the programme. Students graduating from the SELECT programme will have gained experience in the following topics:
* Training in multidisciplinary problem analysis and solving.
* Advanced team building in a multinational setting, along with stimulating international experience.
* A novel and multidimensional way of learning involving real and virtual classrooms
* Close collaboration with industry during thesis work.
* A unique network of fellow students, SELECT alumni and industry specialists in the field of sustainable energy.
The SELECT Masters programme starts from the concept basic renewable energy sources (sun, wind, geothermal and Moon driven tides) to establish the environomical pathways towards a future sustainable energy system. SELECT curriculum rests on a strong foundation in thermal sciences, emphasising the thermodynamic tools of exergy and thermoeconomic analysis. The SELECT Master programme offers a unique education, at a high academic level. It is an integrated programme from five European top universities in the energy area, and prepares the students for a direct industrial engagement.
The SELECT master's programme is a cooperation between the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden (KTH), Technical University of Turin (PoliTo), Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands (TUE), Technical University of Catalonia in Spain (UPC) and Helsinki University of Technology in Finland (TKK). It is a two-year Master's programme including compulsory mobility for the students.
Students from all over the world are welcome to apply. A number of Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.
Career prospects
The SELECT programme offers the students a worldwide unique education, at a high academic level, from researchers/teachers at five top universities in the area. SELECT aims at a direct industrial engagement for participating students.
SELECT gives a two semester advanced introduction to the overall environomical pathways concept at one university (KTH), followed by a specialisation at the other participating universities (Politecnico di Torino, Helsinki University of Technology, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, and Technical University of Catalonia) in the third semester. In the fourth (final) semester the students can perform the MSc thesis in an industrial setting in common supervision with researchers from any of the participating universities.
The programme offers extended industrial contacts as part of internships and seminars/workshops. The curriculum is highly integrated, first of all regarding to student and teacher mobility for certain common lectures, but also related to the extended use of remote teaching by the specialist teachers at all five universities, in conjunction with "face-to-face" and "virtual" interactive workshops and project courses. The programme offers a unique, modern and highly interactive learning material which enhances the student learning process.

To qualify for the SELECT programme applicants need to fulfill the admission requirements based on previous studies, English proficiency and documentation. Please note that the admission requirements can vary for each Erasmus Mundus Master’s Programme.
1. Previous studies: A completed Bachelor's degree
Applicants must have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Chemistry or Engineering (e.g. Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Electrical Engineering) encompassing a minimum of 180 ECTS credits or equivalent academic qualifications from an internationally recognized university. Applicants must furthermore have taken at least 10 ECTS credits in the area of thermal science (e.g. fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer). The average grade must be at least 75% of the scale maximum.
Conditional acceptance
Students in their final year of undergraduate education may also apply and if qualified, receive a conditional offer. If you have not completed your studies, please include a written statement from the degree administration office (or equivalent department), confirming that you are enrolled on the final year of your education and giving your expected completion date. If you receive a conditional offer, you should present your degree certificate to the Admissions Office before enrollment at the latest. Applicants following longer technical programmes and who have completed courses equivalent to an amount of 180 ECTS, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
