In addition to applying for a full Master's programme you can also apply as a guest/exchange student.

Energy is crucial in our lives and an important political topic in Denmark and internationally. As an energy engineering student, you can help keep society moving, flying and running and help solve fundamental energy-related issues that affect people across borders and continents. Energy engineering students help identify and define future energy sources such as wind turbines, solar panels, fuel cells and biofuels. You will learn about novel energy technologies and help to optimise existing apparatus and systems to reduce energy consumption.

Industry wants such graduates with cooperation skills, and you will hone these in project and group work. Energy engineers are in short supply – Denmark will lack 13,500 engineers in 2025. During the study programme you will have possibilities to work with high-tech companies and become part of an exciting international environment, with options for exciting international stays. 
Furthermore, Aalborg University has a flexible incubator environment to support your creative dream and business idea. 

Become part of the future team of engineers

The Energy Engineering programme at Aalborg University in Denmark will enable you to join the future team of engineers working to ensure our environment and our climate through alternative sources of energy which do not pollute, and by optimising energy systems.
