Energy pervades all aspects of modern society, and energy policy forms a core component of foreign, security, environmental and social policies.
Graduates with comprehensive knowledge of and critical insight into the ever changing energy sector are increasingly in demand on the job market.
We are the only interdisciplinary energy studies program located in the heart of Europe.
Society’s ever rising energy consumption has resulted in climate change and local pollution. But how exactly is the energy sector connected to these issues and what can be done about it?
Access to affordable energy accelerates economic development and improves quality of life. How can we ensure such access for everyone?
What are the key energy issues in various parts of the world? How do they shape the policy-making process? How can such policies be assessed?
What can be done about dependence on unstable regions? How can stable supply be ensured? How should we analyze oil shocks and gas crises?
Local opposition and acceptance are key themes in energy policy implementation. How do policy makers, investors and local residents interact and shape the process?
The transition to low-carbon energy entails decentralized energy production, new business models, new laws, and new actors.
Social, environmental and economic policies directly impact energy markets. Markets, on the other hand, shape such policies. How can we make sense of this dynamic?
How do current and emerging energy technologies work? How do their limitations restrict the possibilities of energy policy?
The EU is a very complex and influential actor in global energy relations. Few are able to understand it better than our graduates.
Courses focusing on environmental, techno-economic and legal aspects of the energy sector teach you just that, using practical examples from countries all over the world.
Courses focused on analytical approaches and theoretical perspectives will help you to think critically about your newly acquired knowledge.
Practical courses offer the opportunity to create and test investment models or network with people working in the energy sector.
