Programmespecificobjectives
The study programme results in a master's degree in energy
engineering, and the purpose isto provide advanced skills in one of
the fields of renewable energy sources, primary
energytransformation, energy use and energy systems, based on a
bachelor of science inengineering.
Strong emphasis is placed on the students ability to apply
advanced theories, mathematicalmodels and modern measuring
techniques for efficiency improvement, development andrenewal of
energy systems. The previously mentioned general expected learning
outcomesare supplemented below with the following
programme-specific learning outcomes.
Knowledge and UnderstandingFor a master's degree, the student
should- deeper understanding of renewable and sustainable energy
technology, and how it may beused to modernise the energy systems
of today- acquired advanced knowledge that makes it possible for
the student to actively take partand participate in the development
in one of the profiling areas, after completed highereducation
qualification, and be familiar with the research in the field
Skills and AbilitiesFor a master's degree, the student should-
the ability to locate, identify and formulate problems and be able
to quickly acquire theadditional knowledge required to solve these-
the ability to understand both technical and non-technical
consequences of the introductionof new energy engineering
solutions- the ability to plan, complete and evaluate different
development projects, both individuallyand in collaboration with
others
Judgement and ApproachFor a master's degree, the student
should

- be able to understand alternative perspectives, value systems
and expressions, to be able tointeract and communicate both with
technicians and with non-technicians, in the bestpossible way
Content and structure General ArrangementThe education is
carried out in cooperation between Hgskolan i Gvle, Karlstads
universitet,KTH, Linkpings universitet, Ume universitet and Uppsala
universitet. The education,which is a web-based distance education,
is given in English. The programme turns to thosewith a Bachelor of
Science in Engineering and who want to specialise in energy
engineering.With six higher education institutions interacting, it
is possible to specialise in the followingareas: renewable energy
sources, primary energy transformation, energy use, energyeconomics
and systems, and in energy-related fluid mechanics.
The labour market for a master's degree in energy engineering
exists, for example, at theenergy companies, the processing
industry, and within the consultant and contract business.Expected
tasks are, for example, research and development, project
management andefficiency improvement in the field of energy
engineering. The master programme EnergyOnline includes 60 HE
credits and requires that the student has a higher
educationqualification of at least 180 HE credits in a relevant
subject area.
Degree title Master of Science (60 Credits)
Prerequisites A completed Bachelor's degree, corresponding to a
Swedish Bachelor's degree (180 ECTS),or equivalent academic
qualifications from an internationally recognised university.
The degree must be within the area of energy, mechanics,
building or another adequatesubject area. Also required is a
minimum of 12 ects in Thermodynamics and Fluidmechanics.
English language proficiency equivalent to (the Swedish upper
secondary school) Englishcourse B/6.
Studentinfluence There are student representatives in the board
of governors, the faculty boards and in thedepartment boards. Gefle
Student Union appoints student representatives.
Other Interim Regulations.For students who have had approved
leave from studies, a specific study plan is establishedby the
programme coordinator in consultation with study advisers.
