Program

The Sustainable Energy program is based on industry needs. We’ve closely collaborated with our industry partners so you get in-demand skills. What’s more, you get to work on real research projects. You’ll be up-to-date on all the developments in the field of sustainable energy.

Sustainable Energy in a nutshell

Sustainable Energy is a full-time track that runs for 3 semesters (18 months). You follow a series of practice-based modules and conclude with a major project. The track is part of the Master Engineering Systems, so for some modules you join students from other engineering tracks. 

Semester 1 is about Systems Modeling and Applied Control. In semester 2 you choose 2 elective modules from: Reliable Electricity Hubs, Hydrogen Technology or Big Data & Small Data. Semester 3 is all about your major project. Here you investigate a real-life problem in an industrial or research setting.

Systems modeling and applied control

In semester 1 you follow the modules Systems Modeling and Applied Control. Put the theory you learn into practice during labs and real-life sustainable energy projects. Also, fine-tune your communication and research skills.

Compulsory modules

In Systems Modeling you learn how to model systems using the white-box model. Applied Control is about analyzing a system or model.

Academic calendar

The academic year runs from September to August. In that time you have 42 weeks of education. The rest of the time you have holidays.

Modules and lecture days

Here you can find a weekly schedule of all the modules for the Master Engineering Systems in semester 1 and 2. This includes the modules for the Sustainable Energy track.

Track-specific modules

In semester 2 you follow 2 track-specific modules. You'll choose 2 elective modules from: Reliable Electricity Hubs, Hydrogen Technology or Big Data & Small Data.

Modules

Choose 2 elective modules from the track Sustainable Energy:

  • Reliable Electricity Hubs

Investigating an energy issue

Your 3rd and final semester is devoted to your major project. That’s where you investigate an actual energy issue. Where? At a company or research institute.

The major project is a final test of your ability to manage a project. And where you demonstrate your skills in communicating, reporting and presenting. You need to find a graduation project with an appropriate level and topic at a company or institution of your choice, and you will receive support from both a HAN staff member and a supervisor from the company or institution.

Master of Science

After 1.5 years of hard work, you’ve earned your Master of Science in Engineering Systems. Congratulations! The program you've completed is accredited by the Accreditation Organization of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO). That means you now have an internationally recognized degree. Ready to get your career moving in the energy sector?
