Program Overview

Energy Engineering Program

The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme in Energy Engineering has the objective of preparing technicians able to actively follow and influence technological developments, working effectively in a competitive and multi-disciplinary industrial context.

Mission and Goals

The programme aims to prepare professionals to design, select, and use the main technologies in energy transformation, to actively follow scientific improvements, and to operate effectively in a competitive and multi-disciplinary industrial context, characterized by significant environmental, regulatory, and safety constraints.

Eligibility

A Bachelor of Science in Engineering from one of the following fields: aeronautical, chemical, energy, industrial, mechanical. The GRE score is not mandatory but it is a very valuable title.

Career Opportunities

Graduates can find employment in several sectors: in the technical area of designing, testing, running, and maintaining the energy systems, like heating and cooling systems, thermal power and hydro-electric power plants, engines, oil and gas fields; in the energy management area; and in utilities and public boards that supply energy as electricity and natural gas.

Milano Bovisa Campus Track

Eligibility

A Bachelor of Science in Engineering from one of the following fields: aeronautical, chemical, energy, industrial, mechanical. The GRE score is not mandatory but it is a very valuable title: It can be provided through ETS DI code 6939.

Mission and Goals

Energy Engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design and the management of energy plants and their components in order to ensure the best use of the available resources with the minimum environmental impact.

Career Opportunities

Piacenza Campus Track (Renewables and Environmental Sustainability)

Eligibility

A Bachelor Degree in Engineering (electrical, energy, environmental, industrial, mechanical) or in a related field. A Science Degree (Physics, Chemistry or similar) will be evaluated case by case.
GRE test (Graduate Record Examination) is not mandatory but strongly recommended: it can be provided through ETS DI code 6939 or by sending a scanned copy to Welcome Desk Piacenza within the last day of the application period.

Mission and Goals

The Master of Science programme in Renewables and Environmental Sustainability (RES) is taught in English and offers a broad overview of the various technical issues related to energy and the environment.

Subjects

• Advanced Mathematical methods
• Energy Systems or Energy and Environmental Technologies for Building Systems
