Why study Energy and Environmental Technology?
Do you want to learn how to produce clean energy without harming the planet? Are you interested in technology used for reducing gas and water pollution? Would you like to learn how to estimate the costs of implementing such technology and thereby to create a more sustainable development?
A master's degree in Energy and Environmental Technology will give you the opportunity to explore this field, ranging from planning and controlling industrial processes, to knowledge of how we can prevent environmental threats and explore environmentally friendly energy sources, both through the use of experimental equipment and via advanced modelling and simulation tools.
Where can I work?
Environmental issues impact society and the demand for clean energy sources increases.
With a master's degree in energy and environmental technology, you will be qualified to work within process safety and impact assessment, design and operation of cleaning processes as well as production, administration and distribution of energy. You will work within the public and private sector as well as research institutions dealing with safety and analyses concerning the environment and energy issues.
Working with the local business community
The local business community will be involved throughout this programme, for example through guest speakers from our partnering institutions and through visits to relevant companies.
We do extensive research and work closely with our industrial partners. The majority of the student projects in our programme are done in partnership with external companies.
USN offers career days on campus every year with visits from relevant local businesses. In addition, several of our partners offer summer jobs to students.
In my opinion, diligence and hard work are the key parameters to be successful not only in studies but also in real life
Semester exchange to USN
Within this programme there are several exchange opportunities for students from our partner universities. Please contact our programme coordinator for details and course lists. The application deadline for exchange is April 15 for the autumn semester and October 15 for the spring semester.
Further studies
The master's degree is eligible for doctoral studies at the University of Southeast Norway or at other universities and colleges in Norway and abroad.
Get international experience
You can take parts of Energy and Environmental Technology abroad. Studying or taking an internship abroad can give you the opportunity to expand your international competence, language skills, personal qualities and adaptability. It can also make you more attractive in the job market. We have agreements with foreign universities, colleges and internships adapted to your studies.
