Program description
The program is designed to prepare engineers, project managers, and technical leaders to address the challenges of modern renewable energy systems. It integrates renewable energy expertise with advanced digital tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Digital Twins, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The curriculum emphasizes the design, analysis, and management of renewable energy systems, particularly wind energy, while promoting sustainability and efficiency. Through modules like measuring, monitoring, and control, risk assessment, advanced computational tools, energy storage, and sustainable planning, students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. A strong focus on interdisciplinary learning equips graduates to work in dynamic environments and adopt cutting-edge technologies. The program includes a team research project where students collaboratively address real-world challenges in renewable energy, applying interdisciplinary knowledge and innovative digital solutions to develop practical and sustainable outcomes.
The program fosters adaptability and lifelong learning, utilizing tools like Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) for active, simulated learning. This approach not only prepares graduates for the complexities of modern energy infrastructure but also emphasizes environmental responsibility, economic viability, and global competitiveness in the renewable energy sector.
Duration
The 4-semester program is designed for individuals who have completed their BSc engineering degree in a not fully related field of study, need to acquire more knowledge in renewable energy (mainly wind energy), and are willing to pursue advanced studies in renewable energy engineering after completing the first semester, which is dedicated to providing the necessary foundational knowledge
The 3-semester program is designed for individuals who have completed their BSc engineering degree in related fields of study and possess a strong foundation to pursue advanced studies in renewable energy engineering.
Entry requirements
4-semesters studies: Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field from a recognized university in Poland or abroad. Degrees obtained outside Poland must be recognized as equivalent to a Polish degree through established legal procedures. Applicants with degrees in less closely related fields must be prepared to complete an additional semester focused on foundational knowledge.
3-semesters studies: Applicants for the MSc program in Renewable Energy Engineering must hold a Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field from a recognized university in Poland or abroad. Degrees obtained outside Poland must be recognized as equivalent to a Polish degree through established legal procedures. Candidates should have a strong foundation in fields directly related to renewable energy.
