MSc Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels Energy

Innovation in the fossil-based power industry can change the world. It’s fertile ground for new ideas from energy engineers and sustainability specialists – and a rich source of job opportunities for professionals who want to develop new ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Master’s in Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels Energy empowers you to take up these opportunities. In partnership with industry professionals, who are solving real-life engineering and business challenges at contemporary state-of-the-art facilities, it explores the twin challenges of reducing emissions from widely used fossil fuels and enabling the transition to renewable, sustainable alternatives.

Through project-based learning, case-based teaching, and small-group study, this programme strengthens your engineering and management skills, develops your awareness of the industry and its challenges, and connects you to a network of key industry players. On graduation you have the skills, knowledge and experience to make a direct impact on the future of energy.

MSc Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels Energy is an international programme for an international industry. You join students from all over the world at two different universities and at an international business school. After successfully completing the programme and your thesis, you will receive a double degree consisting of two of the following:

• Master of Chemical Technology, from AGH: University of Science and Technology, Poland
• Master of Engineering, from SUT: Silesian University of Technology, Poland
• Master of Energy Engineering and Management, from IST: Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal
