Overview

Green Energy Technology from Østfold University College gives you a broad introduction to energy technology themes, and the opportunity to build your professional profile within Smart Energy Technology or Materials for Energy Technology.

Quick Facts:

You will work in interdisciplinary groups, both in laboratory work and in projects.
The Smart Energy Technology specialisation is about renewable energy sources (wind power, solar power and hydropower) in energy systems, in addition to microgrids, smart grids, as well as modeling and simulation of such systems.
The Materials for Energy Technology specialisation teaches you about advanced materials and their applications related to future development opportunities in energy efficiency, such as in new buildings, solar cell technology, battery storage and nanomaterials.
Through the master's program, you will acquire knowledge of the contemporary social debate related to sustainable energy technology and innovation, as well as solid academic knowledge of smart energy technologies or materials for energy technology. The study also deals with the circular economy, which is a framework that utilizes resources as effectively as possible, while at the same time achieving financial goals. With limited natural resources it is crucial for the environment that resources are reused and upcycled in new ways.
As a student with us, you have close contact with professionals / researchers. Small class sizes mean the chance to interact and learn beside faculty. In addition, we have close cooperation with the business community and major research and development environments in energy technology and sustainable development. The final master's thesis will largely be linked to external actors and organisation based research.

Programme Structure

The first semester is fixed for all students, with four compulsory courses. These will provide the students with a general interdisciplinary background within green energy technology, teach the students to work in interdisciplinary groups, learn them scientific methods, and how to present their work both orally and as a written report.
In the second semester, there are 15 ECTS points compulsory coursework. In addition to the compulsory part of the second semester, each student choose one of the two specialization profiles as a rule based on their prior bachelor level education, which provided the fulfillment of the admission requirement.
The third semester consist mainly of elective courses.
The fourth semester consists of a 30 ECTS Master Thesis, where the students will conduct a research/development project related to green energy technology.
