Description

Are you interested in the design of complex offshore energy systems or bioenergy systems? Studying the Master's programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering, you learn about developing intelligent and effective methods to utilise energy resources.

During the Master's programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering at AAU Esbjerg, you work with the latest technologies within areas such as analysis and design of systems for offshore wind turbines, modelling of complex offshore systems, combustion technology and bio-energy systems. You learn to design, develop and manage effective methods for utilsation of energy ressources.

You choose one of two specialisations:

• Process Engineering and Combustion Technology
  
• Offshore Energy Systems
   

This is a full-time study programme, which is characterised by problem based project work in groups. You will be working closely with other students most of the time, and you are required to be present at the university on a daily basis and spend the majority of your day there.

AAU collaborates with external companies, which means that you will have opportunity to do your semester projects in collaboration with these or other external companies and gain some real-life, hands-on experiences while you are studying.

Career Opportunities  

Energy engineers have a wide range of career opportunities. As a graduate, you can work in project engineering, research, development and management in Danish and international industries or public institutions.

Problem based learning and working in groups during your study programme will give you many useful skills that make you an attractive candidate on the job market. You know how to approach a problem and solve it in collaboration with other people, which is often how things are done in companies.

Examples of possible employers:

• Energy companies such as Vattenfall and Ørsted
• Process engineering companies such as B&W Vølund
• A wide range of producers of high efficiency energy devices such as Grundfos, Dantherm Power
• Consultancies involved in energy technology and systems
• Danfoss
• Vestas
• Maersk Oil & Gas
• Rambøll Oil & Gas
• Siemens Wind Power

Your works tasks may include:

• Integration of wind turbines
• Wind turbine operation
• Fuel cell systems
• Bio fuel combustion
• Bio energy systems (biogas or bio fuels)
• Hydraulic wave energy systems
• Offshore energy systems
• Development of underwater robots
• Energy distribution to the general population
• Energy optimisation of apparatus, systems and households
• Development of new energy technologies and systems
• Analysing new energy technologies
• Researching energy resources
• Consulting
• Teaching
• Assessing the sustainability of different forms of energy
• Energy efficiency in the production and consumption of energy
