Master's Programme (120 credits) in Energy Smart Innovation in the Built Environment

120 credits

The two-year Master’s programme in Energy Smart Innovation in the Built Environment gives you a better understanding of renewable energy in the built environment and you do practical work to apply solutions to one of the major issues of our time: how we build an urban society where energy consumption and energy supply are sustainable in the long term.

About the education

Courses and competencies in focus

The Master’s programme in Energy Smart Innovation focuses on the technology of smart energy solutions in the built environment, as well as on principles for the successful implementation of these. In the first semester, you take joint courses in the programme's main field of study. In this way, students acquire a common knowledge base on construction and energy technology. This is followed by courses aimed at deeper technical knowledge, as well as knowledge of innovation processes linked to the implementation of energy solutions in the built environment.

All education will take place on campus in Halmstad, Sweden.

The programme is conducted in English.

Collaboration opportunities

Several courses are project-based and are carried out in close collaboration with the business community. The Master’s programme in Energy Smart Innovation is closely linked to several of the university's research environments, as well as to the profile area Smart Cities and Societies, and several of its teachers are active researchers in areas such as innovation, construction innovation, energy efficiency, district heating and wind power.
