The Master's program in Energy Engineering & Management is focused on professionals working in companies that deal with the generation, transportation, distribution, storage, and sale of energy, working for their suppliers, and working in industrial sectors that heavily rely on energy.

Graduates of the program stand out due to an extensive knowledge of present and future technologies for new energy systems. They can significantly participate in the successful introduction of new sustainable energy systems and to appraise and adequately evaluate not only sustainability but also aspects of operating efficiency, availability, and safety.

In addition to the engineering expertise, the program in Energy Engineering & Management shares five management modules with other master's programs.
