Master´s Degree in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency ISM Continuing Education
Nebrija SMART Engineering, a guarantee of quality in the training of professionals to lead the energy transition
The world is in a profound process of change, both from an environmental and technological point of view. These variations affect the technologies of energy production and the models of generation, distribution and consumption of electricity. Faced with this new outlook, renewable energies are becoming fundamentally important, becoming the main protagonists of the future energy transition.
The Master's degree has three main objectives in the training of students. The first is that the student is able to analyze and understand, from the technical, economic and geostrategic points of view, the great changes that are taking place in energy issues. On the other hand, the second is that the student acquires a thorough knowledge of all renewable generation technologies. The last objective is for the student to understand the importance of energy efficiency and master the different practices for the efficient use of energy.
This degree is framed under the University's philosophy, a seal of quality: the Nebrija SMART Engineering philosophy. With it, Nebrija University wants its students to receive a transversal and multidisciplinary training. In this way, they will become the most prepared and ready professionals to be the answer to the challenges ahead in this changing society.
