This master's specialisation at Aalborg University trains you to plan and manage the shift to sustainable energy. The programme looks at what utilities, local communities and government authorities face when they plan and implement sustainable energy technologies, whether locally, nationally or internationally.
What you study
The teaching is interdisciplinary. You combine engineering, economics and management, and you learn about the technological, institutional and economic issues and methods behind energy planning and sustainable development. The point is to prepare you for a leading role in the energy market and to influence present and future policy.
You get both theoretical and methodological knowledge and the practical ability to apply it to particular cases. The programme was devised by the Sustainable Energy Planning Group at the Department of Planning, a research unit that has worked on energy scenario design, energy systems analyses and energy policy-making since the 1970s.
