Master of Sciences

The department of Energy provides English-language in Master of Science courses, in line with the commitment to preparing students - Italian and otherwise - to the most demanding challenges in the labour market throughout the world.


Energy Engineering

This program is offered both in English and Italian.Graduates in Energy Engineering are technicians with a high-standard professional profile who will be able to address all issues, including the most sophisticated and complex ones, as regards the design, construction and operation of plants for the production, distribution and use of energy, as well as heating and cooling plants for both civil and industrial applications; moreover, he/she is able to operate in planning, dispatch and energy control sectors and to take on both the role of the person in charge of energy in businesses and organisations which require such a figure and as an energy expert within national and international bodies for defining energy strategies and scenarios. Graduates will be able to take the State Examination (www.esamidistato.polimi.it) for qualification under Section A of the Register (of Engineers) in the Industrial Engineering sector. The labour market offers Energy Engineers many opportunities in major energy industries operating in the power generation, oil and renewable sectors, in components and systems SMEs, in the heat engineering design of buildings, in public entities and international bodies.
