Sustainable Energy Engineering

The energy sector is rapidly transforming due to urgent concerns over global warming, the imperative shift towards non-fossil energy sources, and the increasing electrification of transport and industry. These shifts are accompanied by stringent regulations and visionary roadmaps toward a fossil-free future, adopted by nations worldwide.

This programme uniquely integrates technical knowledge with cutting-edge research, focusing on energy conversion and distribution. Students will engage with advanced technologies such as power plants, fuel cells, engines, batteries, and heat pumps, grounded in the core sciences of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, along with elements of physics and chemistry. Our collaborative structure spans several specialized departments, including Energy Sciences, Architecture and the Built Environment, Biomedical Engineering, and Technology and Society at LTH – the faculty of Engineering at Lund University.

Our curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between the graduate’s knowledge and a fast-developing energy industry by using the latest academic research with real-world applications. This prepares graduates to lead the way in enhancing electrical efficiency and reducing environmental impacts. The flexibility of course selection allows students to tailor their studies to personal interests and career goals, with opportunities for both theoretical exploration and hands-on learning. The program not only includes engaging group assignments and presentations but also incorporates a foundational research project for the Master’s thesis, empowering students to contribute to meaningful advancements in the energy sector.
