Location of KTH Royal Institute of Technology
This new MSc programme, formed under the auspices of the Nordic Council of Ministers, pools the strengths from energy departments located at the largest technical universities in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. The purpose of the programme is to provide state-of-the-art education in the fields of conventional and renewable energy sources and new power generation, such as 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.
Programme outline
An intense introductory study period commences at KTH, establishing a broad, solid base in energy engineering fundamentals. Further specializations within key subjects are then offered at one or two of the five partner universities: as part of a mobility component participants must spend at least one semester outside KTH. Innovative and entrepreneurial aspects are highlighted via the advanced renewable energy concepts that are being implemented in the Nordic countries. Participants gain proficiency in project design and implementation, operation and maintenance, as well as in crucial phases of policy generation. Advanced training in a research-oriented perspective is also included.
Career prospects
The energy field is an international and dynamic area where well-trained engineers are in demand, particularly for engineers exposed to practices in the Nordic countries. Employment opportunities are expected to be strong, as shown by the experience gained from the related programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering.

Degree project
Each student is assigned a thesis project on which he/she typically works over a period of 5-6 months (30 ECTS). The project may be carried out either in an academic environment (university, research institute, or equivalent) or in an industrial setting (power plant, energy consulting agency, or other industry/business). Thesis projects are often linked to ongoing research activities at one or more of the partner universities.
