Program Outcome
As a student of Energy Systems Engineering, you will be trained as an Engineer with the skills to convert power supplies from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy, involved in a range of areas such as power generation, conversion, transport, usage, and storage. You will learn through practical and theoretical instruction to explore the technical and economic aspects of current energy systems, to gain in-depth cross-sectional expertise in the supply, integration, and storage of future energy systems. Your future could be at the forefront of this exciting transitional period, you could shape the development of emerging power supply concepts, be involved in the decentralization of energy systems, or work on the continued development of smart power grids.
As an Engineer with excellent global qualification, you could create a sustainable and more environmentally friendly power industry for the future.
Career Opportunities
The transformation of energy systems and their supply technologies is an exciting area, regarded as a major global development challenge that will remain dominant over the lifespan of your future career. Expect to develop your career as a graduate in the following fields:
- Development of energy systems and smart grids.
- Smart buildings: design and development of intelligent energy management systems.
- Deploying, commissioning, service, and maintenance.
- Monitoring and assessment of energy systems.
- Management of energy networks (electricity and gas).
- Project planning.
You will be taught completely in English and this language training, coupled with intercultural aspects of the course, will perfectly prepare you for success in the national and international job market.
