The aim of the European Master in Renewable Energy (EMRE) is to train post-graduate Bachelor students to fill the gap between the growing industry demand for specialised renewable energy expertise and the skills available in the job market.
The European Master in Renewable Energy consists of 3 semesters which guarantees students to spend time in at least two different EU countries and make contact with a wide range of European universities and companies involved in the renewable energy sector. Students will acquire knowledge of key renewable energy technologies (wind, solar, biomass, distribution and storage) but also of socio-economic issues, communicative and research skills.
EUREC Agency in Brussels together with leading European Universities offers this MSc programme. Hanze University of Applied Science was selected by EUREC, because of its good facilities and research in the field of renewable energy. Furthermore Hanze UAS is situated in a true energy region in the north of the Netherlands with a good national and international network.

opbouw
Students are guaranteed to spend time in at least two different EU countries and make contact with a wide range of European institutes and companies involved in the renewable energy sector.
The European dimension of the master's programme requires students to follow part of the programme in at least two different European countries. The programme is divided into three semesters. In the first semester students acquire technical and engineering aspects related to innovative energy system design and implementation and their various related interdisciplinary aspects. The second semester will give students the opportunity to specialise in a chosen technology at one of the consortium par
The entire programme is run on a modular basis with credits awarded for passing each section and the successful completion of the thesis research project. A total of 90 ECTS credits (30 for each section of the course) are required with a satisfactory level of achievement in all the sections to obtain the Master of Science degree.Students are guaranteed to spend time in at least two different EU countries and make contact with a wide range of European institutes and companies involved in the renewable energy sector.
1e jaar During the core semester, you acquire a solid foundation in the technical and engineering aspects related to innovative energy system design and implementation and their various related interdisciplinary aspects. Theoretical courses which also examine the socioeconomic issues surrounding the deployment of these technologies are supported by laboratory workshops. In the second semester you specialise in a chosen technology at a different university.

In a very short time the master offers all relevant information an engineer has to know for entering into the sector of renewable energy. The broad topics addressed from technical to economics and the various environnment in which I studied allowed me to connect and learn from very different people and made my 3 semester a success.

Until we have the technology to generate truly 'free' energy, renewable energy is the best available solution for the world's energy problem. The master offers not only the opportunity to learn from academic and technical experts in the field, but also the technical experience of writing a master's thesis based on work performed during an internship in a renewable energy company or research center...
