Energy Engineering

The large number of companies in the energy sector has led to the creation of the Master of Science in Energy Engineering, an inter-university course between the Universities of Trento and Bolzano. In this course you will learn how to develop and propose effective and innovative technological solutions to problems related to the progressive depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels and the environmental impact of energy use. 

You will study energy efficiency in both buildings and industrial production, the generation of renewable energy using small- to medium-scale technologies, and the environmental impacts linked to energy production. The program
also covers technological innovation and the management dynamics of the energy market. During the first year, you will acquire the basic knowledge which you can then deepen in the second year by choosing your area of specialisation. The two tracks are 

Technologies for Energy Efficiency, where you will focus on energy efficiency issues 

Renewable and Innovative Technologies for Energy Supply, where you will focus on energy production from renewable sources. 

The MSc in Energy Engineering will make you a professional capable of tackling complex and advanced problems in energy engineering or those requiring an interdisciplinary approach.

The course is taught entirely in English.
