Who it suits
This programme suits students who want to work on the whole energy system rather than a single technology. You should be comfortable with quantitative methods, modelling and data, and interested in how markets and policy shape energy use. The three study lines let you aim at digital energy systems, energy system analysis, or energy-efficient buildings.
