Core - Hanze University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands
Do you want to
share your energy talent to move to a sustainable world? Then, the Master
Renewable in Energy at Hanze University of Applied Sciences is something for
you! View the promotion film!
EUREC selected Hanze UAS to be the first
University of Applied Sciences to offer the Master in Renewable Energy, because of its
good facilities and research in the field of energy. It boasts extensive
professional and academic networks both in and outside the Netherlands.
The North of
the Netherlands has sublime expertise on energy transition.
Because of many
years of experience in gas transitions, this part of the country is a true
energy region and has a huge national and international energy network. Hanze
UAS is situated in the centre of this energy valley; it is the top sector in
energy. The European Master in Renewable Energy is linked to the Energy Academy Europe.
This is collaboration between Hanze UAS, the
University of Groningen (RUG), Energy Valley, the municipal and province of
Groningen. Top education, top research and business come together in this
Energy Academy Europe. For more information visit http://www.energyacademy.org/
Do you want to become a renewable energy engineer? Study at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences!
Hanze UAS guarantees
high quality education in an inspiring study environment. There are many
possibilities for you to complete your study within prominent energy research
programmes, such as the Flexiprogrammes that are part of CARE-I
Of course,
you have the opportunity to use the extensive and professional energy network of Hanze UAS. This network
consists of companies and research centres in the energy sector. The
following important partners collaborate: The energy schools of the Hanze
University of Applied Science, Hanze UAS
has two energy schools, namely the School of Engineering (SIEN) and the Institute for Life
Sciences and Technology (ILST). At both
Schools the most important aspects are quality, innovation and passion in the
field of energy and technology. Our students work at real-life problems that
have not yet been solved and they contribute towards finding the solution. Let us bridge
the gap between the growing industry demand for specialized Renewable Energy expertise and the skills available in the job
market. Education and research activities are
linked in the Center of Applied Research and Innovation – Energy (CARE-I). The wide range of
research facilities, which include
professional laboratories within Hanze’s own building (i.e. two complete bioreactors)
and facilities at RenQi (i.e. a fully-functional educational wind tunnel, solar
cell testers, gas storage simulation systems) as well as the extensive
international energy network consisting of EDC ( HEC (Hansa Energy Corridor) and Energy
Valley, amongst others.
Become part of
this inspiring energetic environment!

Teaching methods
Discover the possibilities to design your own research
in collaboration with highly qualified teachers and businesses. Make use of the
state of the art research facilities of Hanze UAS!
The core of
the study programme is developed in the following manner:
Foundation
module. In this
module students develop insight into the socio-economic, geopolitical and legal
context of energy transition. Hanze UAS will present students with the EKC-model
for energy transition context - People in Power - and will teach safety,
project management and presentation skills, and engineering basics in this
module.
Technical
modules. These
modules provide a deep insight into renewable energy sources and technologies:
- Wind & Hydro Energy
- Solar Energy
- Biomass energy
- Storage & Distribution
The Master Renewable Energy at Hanze UAS distinguishes itself due to its own profile:
- Technical module: Energy Storage & Distribution. This module focuses specifically on the issue of network balancing and distributed, flexible energy generation (People in Power). Hanze UAS is of the opinion that professionals in the renewable energy sector should have understanding of this issue. Furthermore, EKC research focuses on network balancing.
- Research Methodology and Numerical Modeling. Professionals in the energy industry must be able to conduct (or supervise) applied research projects and should be able to assess the relevance of research outcomes. Therefore, students are provided with a research module in which research skills are taught.
- Professional Skills and Mentoring: Students set their own learning goals, monitor their own learning and develop a Personal Development Plan. Supervision is provided throughout the programme, in person during the core, online during the specialization and again in person during the thesis project. The capstone assignment is used to reflect on professional skills and personal development.
