The <a href="http://www.master.eurec.be/en/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">European Master in Renewable Energy</a> is directed towards engineers and research oriented bachelor graduates that want to specialise in one of the renewable energy technologies, such as Wind Energy, Photovoltaics, Ocean Energy, Solar Thermal or Grid Integration. The course has been set up to deliver a master programme that deals with basic research in renewable energy enabling young graduates to continue with either a research or a industry oriented career. The programme and its cooperating partners offer master thesis' in both fields.
Students follow this 15 (16) months programme by chosing their study locations including the Master thesis in at least two European countries. Study periods are divided into a "core" part providing understanding of the whole range of RE technologies, followed by a "specialisation" at another university where the student goes into depth in the technology of her/his choice. The remaining 6 months are spent on the premises of a company or research centre where the student carries out her/his personal practical or research project (Master Thesis).
