Bachelor of Science in Enviromental and Energy Engineering
180 ECTS credits
Study programme
As a student in energy and environmental engineering you will learn to work with energy and cleaning technology issues in a holistic perspective. You will work with concepts such as function, energy efficiency, economy and environmental influence in all areas, for instance, the heating and ventilation of buildings, process management in industry, or water and sewage treatment. There is a constant need to improve all these aspects in view of the increasing cost of energy. The role of the energy and environmental engineer is clear and important. If you wish to specialise further after earning a Bachelor of Science degree, you can continue towards a Master of Science degree.

Education
In the course of the programme you will be working with heating, cooling and ventilation systems, water purifying systems, power and district heating systems, drying systems etc. You will study these systems in laboratories, but also in industries. You will measure, test and develop your understanding of the theories needed to answer the following questions: - How should a system be designed to be energy effective? - How should systems be designed in order to have low impact on the environment? - How should systems be designed to be economically efficient? You will work with dedicated teachers, whom the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education rated as "having an impressively holistic view of learning". Unlike traditional university education with lectures and little contact between teachers and students, we work in small groups with plenty of time for dialogue. A team of teachers are responsible for the programme and integrate several subjects in the course instead of separating them. You will learn to work in projects and to handle group dynamics in order to be well prepared for industrial modes of working.Examination
There are no set examination periods, and generally no final exam at the end of a semester, an academic year, or a complete study programme. Examination usually takes place at the end of each course, module, or unit.Professional Contact
Many programme courses include visits to corporate and municipal energy and purification plants where students meet with engineers who describe their tasks. Problems and data from the plants are used to practise solving problems related to the students' future work. Many companies approach us to offer information of their operations with a view to recruiting future employees. Graduates are also invited to share their experiences of studying and working.Course of study
