European Master in Renewable Energy compromises 90 ECTS. The content and structure of the EUREC Master is predetermined by the EUREC university consortium and comprises:

1. a core semester of 30 ECTS;
2. a specialisation semester at Hanze UAS or a partner university of 30 ECTS; and
3. a thesis project of 30 ECTS

The programme offers the following specialisations:

• Photovoltaics (taught at the University of Northumbria, UK)
• Wind Energy (taught at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece)
• Solar Thermal Energy (taught at the University of Perpignan, France)
• Grid Integration (taught at the University of Zaragoza, Spain)
• Ocean Energy (taught at the Instituto Superior Tecnico, Portugal)
• Sustainable Fuel Systems for Mobility (taught at Hanze UAS, Netherlands)

The student has the ability to:

• carry out tasks in a project environment
• participate effectively in an international multidisciplinary team
• communicate effectively orally, visually, written at an appropriate level (english) to clients and stakeholders
• communicate the link between technological projects and strategic objectives to the management and other stakeholders
• staying abreast of relevant (inter) national developments, trends, ideas in society, policy and professional practice, translating, developing and introducing these in an innovative manner to improve professional practice
• manage his/her own learning process and sharing expertise with peers and other experts in professional practice
• formulate a problem definition, employ specific research and analysis methods to collect relevant data, conduct research on real-life non routine problem
• translate a practical problem into questions forming a conceptual problem, collect relevant data, translate outcomes of the model into answers to the original problem
• apply appropriate scientific methods and techniques, mathematics, economics and other sciences in energy system design
• communicate scientific findings in both written and oral form in English to the problem owner and other relevant stakeholders
• display a reflective attitude towards the possibilities and limitations of the scientific method used, contribute to the development of the body of knowledge, make meaningful contributions to the energy debate.
• apply knowledge and insights of the principles of a range of renewable energy systems for optimal energy conversion
• design a range of renewable energy systems for optimal energy conversion at a given location and for particular applications
• critically appraise codes of practice and regulatory frameworks relevant to renewable energy systems
• analyse economic and planning aspects of renewable energy systems as well as technological considerations
• statistically assess renewable energy sources at a specific location given appropriate data
• multiple renewable energy technologies and – depending on the specialisation chosen by the student – specialist in at least one renewable energy technology.
• integrating renewable energy sources (wind, solar [photovoltaic, thermal], water, biomass energy) into a flexible, distributed energy system.
• applying the principles of integrated storage techniques.
• analysing and improving the energy efficiency of production chains (implementing innovations).
