The European Master in Sustainable Energy System Management (SESyM) focuses on the economics and business aspects of transition of the energy system. It provides the economic and management skills you need for employment in the Renewable Energy Industry, as well as real life business cases and projects. Completing this master gives you a systems- perspective in terms of sustainable energy challenges. You will be able to design, analyse and implement business cases and sustainable systems with a systemic and interdisciplinary approach, making you essential to the whole energy industry.
The programme has a clear international focus, not only because of the anticipated international student mix, but also because you are expected to follow
the programme at different locations in Europe. Gaining experience through real life business cases and projects in the renewable energy industry is another important characteristic of the programme.
