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.
After the education
Degree
The program leads to a Degree of Master of Science (120 credits) with a major in Construction Engineering with specialisation in Renewable Energy.
Opportunities for further studies
After the programme, you are qualified to apply for doctoral and PhD studies, for example in the University's own third cycle courses.
