Specializations

Specialization themes SET

The Master Sustainable Energy Technology offers a range of specialization courses. For clarity the more than 30 specialization courses are categorized in four specialization themes. You can choose courses from all specializations, but your study program has to be approved by your mentor. This mentor is one of the assistant, associate or full professors of the SET sections. These sections are active in one or more of the specialization themes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

Within the department of Mechanical Engineering a Master Allocation Procedure is implemented to assign students to the sections of this department. Since the Mechanical Engineering department coordinates the Master’s Program SET and different sections from the Mechanical Engineering Department are involved in the SET Master’s Program, this allocation procedure will (in) directly affect students who would like to perform their thesis work in one of the SET sections.

Specialization sections

In the first quarter you will be informed further about the specializations and the sections will present themselves.

You can already check out the specialization options within each section. On their website (see overview below) they present all research areas they cover. Please note that not all research topics in each section are necessarily relevant to this program! The sections are autonomous, and are also involved in other programs. In the download menu on the right you can find a program specific presentation; covering only relevant research areas.
