About the study
The sun generates massive amounts of energy by nuclear fusion. Is it possible to mimic the fusion process in a reactor on Earth to produce unlimited energy? One hour of sunshine gives our world enough energy to meet the world’s entire energy demand for a full year. The challenge is to achieve a high conversion efficiency and, importantly, to store intermittent energy from both solar and wind power. The energy demand of our society is projected to double by the end of the century while the consequences of the anthropogenic climate change become ever more visible.
In this master program you can learn about sustainable energy; its potential, the physics and technology behind, and how to examine and utilize these clean energy sources. You can also learn about the climate system and how it changes over time, both naturally and due to human activities. These fields strongly depend on advanced mathematical models, in e.g. fluid dynamics and heat flow, as well as numerical simulations. Alumni with these skills are highly desired in the scientific research sector and industry, nationally and abroad.
