Education

You meet committed teaching staff by the National Agency describe, "to have an impressive holistic approach to learning." We give priority to education in dialogue instead of one-way communication to a large lecture hall. You will also learn to work in projects and managing group dynamics in order to be equipped for business work. In the end of the program you choose an area for you to specialize within.
You get you a broad expertise in energy and environmental technologies, where knowledge of optimization of energy transformations is central. You meet the technology practical both in the laboratory and in industry. You read the theory needed to develop technologies that are more energy efficient, more economical and less environmental impact. Technology courses interspersed with practical and research-projects and expansion in areas such as design, materials or industrial economics.

Form of Instruction

Instruction is given in the form of lectures, classes, practices, laboratory work, and as project work under supervision.

Examination

Examination usually takes place at the end of each course, module, or unit. There are no set examination periods, and generally no final exam at the end of a semester, an academic year, or a complete study programme.

Study Abroad

We encourage our students to read parts of the training abroad. During the program"s seventh semester is there a block of elective and optional courses. Many of our students choose to study that semester at another university abroad. Contacts can be mediated by central functions for International Studies at Karlstad University.
The program"s students have historically shown great interest in doing thesis work in a developing country. We now have a well-developed network of contacts with, among others Ghana where we are happy to recommend students to travel to connection with their thesis.

Professional Contact

In connection with projects students are introduced to one of the programme partner companies or any other suitable company, one of which will very likely play a part in the completion of a degree project.
