Ne öğreneceğim?

Our energy system is rapidly evolving. There are big challenges ahead of us, including mitigating climate change, securing our long-term energy supply, and providing access to sustainable energy for everyone. This two-year Master’s programme in Energy Science at Utrecht University offers an interdisciplinary approach for anyone prepared to tackle these challenges.

Systems approach

Energy collection, conversion, transport, storage, distribution, and end-use application are all steps in providing energy services to society. All these elements form an energy system, which is complex and interacts with other systems in a multitude of ways. Transitions in energy systems and the merits of innovation for the individual components of each can only be analysed in the context of the complete system. This is why we place energy systems analysis at the very centre of our Energy Science programme.

Programme Objective

This programme is aimed at students with a background in science or engineering who want to contribute to the transition towards sustainable energy systems.

Natural Science Track

The Natural Science track gives you an opportunity to focus on natural sciences and technology. You will be trained in natural sciences research, thereby obtaining a solid foundation for a position in applied research or in the interaction between research and its applications.

Systems Analysis Track

The Systems Analysis track provides an all-round training in the area of systems analysis. You will gain a thorough understanding of energy systems analysis and will be prepared for a range of positions that will allow you to help shape the transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources.

Career prospects:

The sustainable development of energy systems will be one of the main global challenges of this new century. Therefore, research institutes, businesses, consultancy firms, government organisations, and NGOs are active in the quest for energy efficiency improvement and more renewable energy sources. Many companies are taking up the challenge to develop new business in this area and there is a great demand for energy and resources specialists, which is increasing every day.

Professional Careers

Graduates should be able to find employment in the private sector (energy companies), public sector, consultancy, and NGOs. Graduates will also find positions in international bodies, such as the European Union and the International Energy Agency.

Academic Careers

The programme prepares students for a PhD-programme, which will ultimately lead to professions in scientific research. Graduates of the programme must be capable of writing a PhD dissertation.
