MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering

The MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering is intended for students with a background in engineering or physical sciences, who want to take a more technical perspective on developing and engineering sustainable energy systems.

This is a highly adaptable programme based on practical and fieldwork experience. Students study sustainable energy from the perspective of business, science and technology, and learn about a wide range of renewable technologies that suit different regions and societies. This includes geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, wind power and energy efficiency. Taking advantage of Iceland's position as a global leader in renewable energy development, our students experience the whole sustainable energy process from the power plant to the development of sustainable energy law at the government level. On completing the programme students will be able to apply their skills and knowledge to develop solutions to energy-related problems.

Language of Instruction: English
Start Date: late July / early August

Personalised study plan

Students develop a personal study plan, with the aid of an academic advisor, to reflect their interests which can be further developed in the final research project.

Student body and faculty

Iceland School of Energy trains students to become engineers, managers, policymakers and researchers, therefore we draw our students from a wide range of experience and backgrounds.

Collaboration - inside access

Iceland School of Energy is operated in cooperation with two leaders in the field of renewable energy; Reykjavik Energy and Iceland Geosurvey. This collaboration gives our students exceptional access to:

• Renewable energy systems in Iceland.
• Professionals at the forefront of developing and operating renewable energy resources.
