ENERGY-ONLINE

Home

Energy-Online is a distance-based educational program that offers the possibility to obtain a Master of Science equivalent degree in Energy Technology entirely off-campus. All courses can be followed online. In certain cases traditional exams are used where the students are supposed to find an exam proctor/invigilator at their location.

Energy-Online is offered in joint cooperation among five Swedish universities. The official language throughout the studies is English. There are no restrictions related to geographical location, gender, religion, or age.

The study program is structured in such a way that it can provide, after successful completion of all courses, a relevant Master degree issued by some of the participating universities. Proper engineering background is required in order to get admitted, see under Eligibility.

The following partner universities participate in the program and can or cannot issue a final degree:

University of Gävle: Master of Science, or Master of Engineering "Energy Online" (see under "Program Outline")!

Royal Institute of Technology (KTH): MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering (click here for more info)

Linköping University: no degree presently possible

Uppsala University: no degree presently possible

Umeå University: no degree presently possible

Energy-Online combines courses in Energy Technology offered within the established international Master-level study programs at each of the participating universities. Energy-Online enables the students to aquire or enhance their knowledge in the field of sustainable energy engineering, provides a good overview of today's and tomorrow's energy realities and sustainable energy solutions, and corresponds to state-of-the-art distance education. It is adapted to students of various backgrounds and gives a broad foundation of basic knowledge plus some advanced courses in certain specialization areas. The study program is flexible, and changes or improvements in course structure and contents will constantly occur. Each course is run independently by one of the participating universities and may differ completely in registration procedures, online teaching tools, exam arrangements, etc.

The application process is explained under "Application Procedure".

There are two tracks of possible Master level studies within Energy-Online, as follows:

  • Master of Engineering (MEng): 1 year full-time studies (60 ECTS credits) - the final degree is awarded only by the University of Gävle.
  • Master of Science (MSc): 2 years full-time studies (120 ECTS credits) - including all compulsory courses from the MEng curriculum plus free-choice specialization courses.
