Programme Structure
Energy Technology is a 2-year AP degree programme divided into 4 semesters each with a disciplinary area in focus.
* 1st semester The energy of the building complex
* 2nd semester Energy supply and conversion
* 3rd semester Energy efficient process and production facilities
* 4th semester Internship and final examination project
The Three Main Elements
The programme is divided into three main elements:
* A compulsory element which roughly makes up half of the programme duration
* An elective element comprising different elective subjects which makes up about one quarter of the duration of the programme
* An internship and final examination project make up the last quarter of the duration of the programme
The Compulsory Element
The compulsory element covers such subjects as:
* Building technology
* Indoor climate systems
* Automation
* Control and regulation
* Conventional and new energy forms
You will also learn about
* Energy analysis
* Energy consumption calculation
* Energy efficient process and production facilities
These subjects will help assure your knowledge of energy efficient projecting and planning and enable you to assess which solutions are more energy economic and environmentally friendly.
Elective elements
The elective elements make up one fourth of the programme, cover a wide range of subjects and give you the possibility of delving into a subject and specialisation of particular interest to you. Here are some examples of elective subjects:
* Process and production facilities
* Building installations
* Alternative and new energy forms
Business understanding
You will learn about subjects connected with business understanding such as being employed in a company or operating your own business. The primary focus and subject areas are:
* Innovation
* Project management
* Business understanding
Different kinds of instruction
During the first three semesters teaching will be a combination of individual task solution, whole class teaching and project work, whereas you will co-operate with a company or business on the final, fourth semester.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testAll applicants should normally as a minimum have an upper secondary school leaving exam preferably in a subject relevant for the programme they are applying for. For some countries outside EU applicants also need 1-2 years of college or university studies.
In general students need to have good marks and on some programmes there are specific requirements for their marks in e.g. mathematics. Applicants must have the exams deemed relevant by the Danish Agency for International Education under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
English Level
Please note that all programmes require a command of English sufficient for academic purposes, namely:
* IELTS (International English Language Testing System) with a minimum score of 6.0 or e.g.
* Cambridge Advance level C
* Cambridge Proficiency level C

If you wish UCN to consider an alternative English level, you may apply to the International Office for approval. However, for applicants from outside Europe we only accept the IELTS or TOEFL English test.
Applications must be made on the standard KOT form. Applications for admission with the copies of all relevant qualifications attached should be submitted as early as possible.
