Education

At the Institute for Energy Engineering, as a University Research Institute, we are fully committed to our educational mission. If you are interested in energy‑related topics and wish to broaden your knowledge or specialize in this field, we offer a wide range of opportunities.

If you are considering completing your bachelor’s or master’s final project in the area of energy, or if you would like to carry out an internship that will help you expand your professional horizons in the sector, you can contact us via our email address. We will be happy to provide information about the opportunities currently available.

Master's Degree

The main objective of the Master’s Degree is to provide graduates with all the knowledge required to undertake professional or research activities in the energy sector in line with sustainable‑development needs—namely, improving efficiency and savings while reducing the environmental impact of energy generation, transmission and use.

This general objective is achieved through the following specific goals:

  • A well‑balanced multidisciplinary education in the field of energy.
  • Training in technologies for energy conversion and storage.
  • An introduction to the economic concepts needed to understand market mechanisms.

This is an Official Master’s Degree delivered in person and mainly taught in English. Since the 2015–16 academic year, it comprises 90 ECTS credits, completed over one and a half academic years. During the first year, students take 60 ECTS of coursework, while the remaining half year is dedicated to the Master’s Thesis, worth 30 ECTS.

The subjects taught are divided into two blocks:

  • Core (compulsory) subjects, focused on analysis, design and research.
  • Elective subjects, allowing students to complement their training in energy.

General information about the Master’s Degree is available on the UPV website: General information about the Master’s Degree.

The language of instruction in the first semester is English. In the second semester, some subjects are taught in English and others in Spanish.

A certified B2 level of English or equivalent (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, CEFR) is a requirement for admission to the Master’s Degree.

Student Experiences
PhD Programme

Since 2009, the IIE has participated in the UPV’s PhD Programme in Industrial Engineering and Production, within the research area of Energy Engineering.

PhD students must complete 600 hours of transversal and specialized training prior to submitting their doctoral thesis. These hours are certified through courses offered by the Doctoral School, as well as through publications, conference presentations, research stays, and other academic activities.

To obtain the PhD degree, candidates must defend their thesis before an examination committee. Before this defense, the thesis draft must receive favourable evaluations from three external reviewers.
