Energy efficiency, environment and sustainable development (EESD)

STUDY PROGRAM: Energy efficiency, environment and sustainable development (EESD)

Duration: 1 year

ECTS points: 60 ECTS

Degree: Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies with Major in Energy efficiency, environment and sustainable development 

The purpose of the study program is to enable leading highly competent engineering staff for research, development, design and implementation of complex interdisciplinary projects in the areas of energy efficiency, the impact of electricity on the environment and sustainable development.

Accordingly, candidates of this study program will be able to solve problems related to the promotion of energy efficiency and sustainable future. They will be able to apply the techniques of integrating preventive strategies in the planning and development of industrial production, reducing the causes of environmental pollution caused by manufacturing processes and rationalization of consumption of energy and raw materials. Candidates will acquire adequate capacity to solve practical problems in all domains of the impact of electromagnetic fields on the environment and adequate protection, to apply appropriate protocols to measure the most important parameters of the living and working environment with particular emphasis on non-ionizing radiation, and to apply the regulations in environmental and non-ionizing radiation at international and national level.

This study program will contribute to the improvement of energy efficiency in the country, especially in the industrial, transportation, residential, commercial and service sectors. Masters in “Energy efficiency, environment and sustainable development” will contribute to the development of industry, science research and teaching work of universities.
