Master of Sustainable Energy Engineering

This two-year MSc in Engineering is taught in English on the Esbjerg campus and starts in September. It focuses on the analysis, design and modelling of future energy systems, including Power-to-X, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, offshore wind turbines and offshore robotics, and on developing, simulating and optimising technologies such as energy storage. Teaching is problem-based with strong project work, in which study groups handle real cases like storage systems, Power-to-X process optimisation or offshore plant design, often linked to industry. The university laboratories serve both research and student projects. Students choose one of three specialisations, and from 2028 a three-year option for working professionals is expected.
