From the academic year 2012-2013 the Faculty of Science and Technology at the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen offers an interuniversity 2-year Master in “Energy engineering” (Internuniversity Master in Energy engineering), in collaboration with the University of Trento, Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering. The course is geared to preparing a professional figure able to address complex and advanced problems of energy engineering or that require an interdisciplinary approach in the design, implementation, management and upgrading of production systems, transport and efficient use of energy.From the academic year 2014/15 the administrator of the course is at the Universtity of Trento.The selection procedure and enrollment will take place at the University of Trento.
This Master in Energy Engineering is the result of the increasing spreading of technologies connected with the spread generation and the optimized management of energy and the consequent increasing demand of engineers able to develop and propose efficient and innovative technological solutions to deal with the issues deriving from the progressive depletion of fossil non-renewable sources and the environmental impacts due to the use of energy. The course contents focuses on the issues of energy efficiency in buildings and in productive cycles, the energy production from middle-small sized plants of renewable sources, which have a reduced environmental impact and serve customers in the surrounding areas.
Employment prospects
The course aims at training experts able to deal with the various aspects of planning, implementing and managing the integrated energy systems, such as production plants supplied from renewable sources, low energy consumption buildings and networks able to transport electric and thermic energy from the production site to the local consumption sites.
Energy engineers work as independent professionals or in public and private companies, industries of the energetic and thermo-energetic sectors and public and private utilities. Graduates might be admitted to PhD programmes in the field.
Structure of the course
The professional profile of this master is thought to meet the needs of design skills to be applied to small to medium size energy production plants, in particular to applications of renewable sources combined heat and power in district heating, and to energy efficient industrial systems and buildings. Energy conversion, energy distribution and energy utilisation systems are the main areas of interest.
The environmental sustainability of the energy utilisation and the reduced exploitation of natural resources will be the common basis for the different disciplines involved: electrical engineering, technical physics and building physics, fluid machines, industrial engineering.
Students must obtain at least 120 CP, of which at least 42 CP obtained at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and at least 33 CP obtained at the University of Trento. In addition to the mandatory subjects, a range of optional courses will be offered

Professione Corpo Docente:
Il Master in Energy Engineering, offerto dalla Facoltà di Scienza e Tecnologia della Libera Università di Bolzano in collaborazione con l'Università di Trento, è un corso interuniversitario di due anni che si propone di formare figure professionali capaci di affrontare problemi complessi e avanzati nel campo dell'ingegneria energetica. Questo master, iniziato nell'anno accademico 2012-2013, si concentra su tematiche come l'efficienza energetica, la produzione di energia da impianti di fonti rinnovabili di dimensioni medio-piccole e la gestione ottimizzata dell'energia.
Lo studente acquisirà competenze specifiche nella progettazione di impianti di produzione energetica di dimensione media-piccola, con particolare attenzione alle applicazioni di fonti rinnovabili, al riscaldamento distrettuale e all'efficientamento energetico di sistemi industriali e edilizi. Le aree principali di interesse sono la conversione di energia, la distribuzione energetica e i sistemi di utilizzo dell'energia, sempre con un occhio di riguardo alla sostenibilità ambientale e alla ridotta sfruttamento delle risorse naturali.
Il Master in Energy Engineering si distingue per il suo forte carattere internazionale, offrendo:
Il costo del Master è di 1350€ e sono previste borse di studio accessibili attraverso l'Ufficio per il Diritto allo Studio universitario della Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano. Per la selezione ed iscrizione, il processo avviene presso l'Università di Trento.
La sede del Master è Bolzano, con scadenza delle iscrizioni il 07 maggio 2024, inizio del corso il 30 settembre 2024.
