Course content

The MSc in Energy Systems Innovation aims to enhance knowledge and skills in the energy sector while promoting the development of new ideas and technologies, particularly in chemical engineering solutions. This is accomplished by integrating elements of systems management and addressing the technical, economic, and regulatory aspects.

The programme includes an in-depth understanding of current energy technologies, emerging innovations, and future trends. It seeks to produce graduates who are well-equipped to drive innovation and lead the transformation of energy systems towards a more sustainable and efficient future.

Typical classes that are part of the programme include:

• introduction to hydrogen engineering
• clean combustion technologies
• energy systems analysis
• electrochemical energy devices

All students take part in a research project to explore a practical problem related to the energy sector. The compulsory MSc project can be carried out at an employer’s site. Previous projects include ‘Identifying future carbon capture materials’ and ‘Green hydrogen in the Arctic region’.
