Master in Power engineering

Tuition fees are 4,673 USD per year.

This master's track in Power Engineering at Wrocław University of Science and Technology specialises in Renewable Sources of Energy. Taught in English over three semesters, with annual tuition of 4000 EUR, the programme is based in Wrocław, Poland. Graduates gain the knowledge and skills needed to design, test, and operate power plants that use nonconventional energy sources, across a wide range of conversion methods and energy storage technologies. The first semester covers Applied Mathematics, selected issues in Physics, Numerical Methods, selected problems of thermal-flow processes, Physics of Renewable Energy, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Production, Geothermal Power Engineering, Biomass in Energy Production, Wind Power Plants, and a foreign language at B2+ level. The second semester includes Mathematical Modeling of Energy Generation Installations, New Generation Energy Technologies, Heat Pumps, Solar Energy Conversion Systems, Water Power Engineering, Biofuels and Alternative Fuels, a management elective, and a further foreign language at any level. The third semester covers Energy Systems, Thermonuclear Power Generation, a humanities elective, a master's seminar, and the master's thesis. Graduates are prepared to work in the energy industry, with a foundation suited to designing equipment that uses renewable energy, developing new solutions in renewable energy power, supervising the operation of renewable and hybrid energy systems, assessing the effectiveness of renewable energy use depending on the location of an investment, and contributing to local and global energy strategy. Renewable energy engineering sits at the intersection of thermodynamics, electrical engineering, and environmental science, and demand for specialists in the field has grown alongside broader efforts to decarbonise electricity generation and industrial energy use across Europe.
