About this program
Master of Science Sustainable Energy Technology
Master of Science Sustainable Energy TechnologyOver the coming decades restricted availability of energy and growing greenhouse gas emissions are going to affect commercial and social progress across the world. The Kyoto protocol calls for the reduction of greenhouse gases by reduced emissions and carbon sinks. By 2010 the Netherlands must generate 10 % of its total energy requirement from renewable sources (such as solar, wind and biomass).
There is also an urgent need for the design of low-vulnerability energy supply chains. Sustainable energy and its associated technologies are seen as essential contributors to this challenge. Many countries have committed themselves, but many of the factors required for its implementation, including trained technologists, are not yet present. Sustainable energy technologists will play key roles.
Our goals, your achievement
The general objective of the SET MSc programme is to give engineers broad knowledge in the field of energy technology and to provide the skills necessary to play a leading role and contribute to real progress. Graduates will acquire in-depth knowledge to guide them in new areas, deepen existing knowledge and remain equipped for life-long learning. On programme completion you will be able to apply the fundamentals of SET to provide technical solutions for SET-related problems taking into account all economic, social, environmental and ethical factors.
