The Master of Science programme in “Renewable Energy” is offered in cooperation with the Polytechnic University of Tirana and aims to prepare specialists capable of analyzing, designing and managing sustainable energy systems. The programme focuses on the use and integration of clean energy technologies, with relevance to agriculture, the environment, the agri-food industry and sustainable rural development.

The programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach, combining knowledge from engineering, energy systems, agriculture, natural sciences, environmental studies and economics. Its content reflects the current needs of the energy transition, the objectives of sustainable development, and the orientations of European policies in the fields of climate, energy and resource efficiency.

Through this study programme, students develop competencies in assessing the potential of renewable energy sources, applying clean energy technologies, managing energy projects and designing practical solutions for the rational use of energy in agricultural, environmental and industrial contexts.

• Prepare specialists with advanced knowledge in production, integration and management of energy from renewable sources.
• Trains professionals capable of analyzing and evaluating the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of different energy sources.
• Prepares specialists who can assess the economic and environmental efficiency of renewable energy technologies.
• Responds to labor market needs for experts in the fields of energy transition, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.
• Për të zhvilluar te studentët kompetenca më të thelluara kërkimore, të nevojshme për studime të mëtejshme, projekte shkencore dhe zgjidhje aplikative në sektorin e energjisë.
• Për të mbështetur përdorimin më të gjerë të teknologjive të pastra në sektorë si bujqësia, mjedisi, industria agro-ushqimore dhe zhvillimi rural.

Potentially, graduates of the Master of Science program in “Renewable Energy” may be employed in:

• Energy production, transmission, and distribution companies, including public and private operators that develop or manage energy systems.
• Companies operating in the renewable energy sector, such as solar energy, wind energy, bioenergy, hydropower, and hybrid systems.
• Companies involved in the design, installation, and maintenance of renewable energy systems, including photovoltaic systems, solar thermal collectors, biomass systems, and energy storage solutions.
• Support activities in the energy sector, such as the trade of energy equipment, technical services, plant maintenance, energy auditing, and techno-economic consultancy.
• Public institutions and regulatory agencies related to energy policies, energy efficiency, climate, environment, and sustainable development.
• Research institutions, universities, and research centers, where they may engage in scientific research, development projects, and energy systems analysis.
• Non-governmental organizations and international organizations working in the fields of clean energy, rural development, environmental protection, climate, and sustainability.
• The agri-food and rural sector, where they may contribute to the use of renewable energy, energy efficiency, the energy valorization of biomass, and the sustainable management of resources.
