Location of University of Gävle
The degree programme in Energy Systems consists of 180 ECTS credits. The programme gives basic knowledge of how energy systems function. Energy Systems refers to global/regional energy systems, the energy systems of buildings and industrial energy systems.
In the programme simulation and optimisation of these energy systems is applicable with the aim of creating durable systems regarding energy, environment and economy.
The programme gives an advanced course in energy technology. The emphasis lies with giving good knowledge in production, distribution and the use of energy at system level. To be able to chart complex energy systems and optimise these in relation to energy and environmental resources is an important part of the programme. All three years have in common the creation of durable energy systems.
The courses in the programme are given entirely in English. The programme gives qualification for continued studies for a Master’s degree.
The main field of study is Energy Technology and its application deals mainly with the three different energy systems, Industrial energy systems, Building energy systems and Global energy systems. Students learn about these three different energy systems and can put these into practice by minimising the use of resources.
After the studies
The program aims to give the student qualifications for engineering in relevant industry as well as qualifications for studies at master´s level.

The main field of study is Energy Technology and its application deals mainly with the three different energy systems, Industrial energy systems, Building energy systems and Global energy systems. Students learn about these three different energy systems and can put these into practice by minimising the use of resources.
The first course in Energy Technology gives a basic knowledge in energy system concepts. Fundamental thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are studied at an early stage in the programme. The production of energy from a thermodynamic and energy systems technological perspective is also studied at an early stage of the programme. After the foundation has been laid the use of energy in society follows with building and industry given more careful study. The final course in the programme deals with simulating and optimising the energy programmes that have been studied earlier in the programme. Optimising is done with the aim of minimising the use of resources (capital, raw materials, manpower etc), but still fulfilling those demands the user makes on the energy supply.
The programme is a preparation for work within production, distribution and usage of energy as well as giving understanding of work with energy, mainly at systems level. The entire programme has the common feature to create a durable energy system, so that we economise with resources (i.e. work, capital, raw materials, energy and the environment) in the best possible way.
Thesis
The course ends with a thesis, which is done full time during the second half of the spring term in year three. Through the thesis previous knowledge shall be applied, broadened and deepened. Students shall show through their thesis that those goals for a basic university education as given in the Higher Education Act, and the Bachelor’s degree education as given in the Higher Education Ordinance and the special goals stated in this course of teaching have been achieved.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
