Are you dreaming about becoming a sought-after energy specialist who can advise about the installation of complex energy and indoor climate systems? Do you want to ensure the optimum energy consumption and correct construction of plants that produce new as well as alternative forms of energy?
Then the new energy technology programme is just the thing for you. Here you will learn to handle tasks across the fields of electricity, heating, water and sanitation with a view to installing energy efficient solutions and optimising structural installations and process facilities such as indoor climate systems, heat pumps and similar installations in buildings as well as industrial plants.
Programme structure
Energy technology is a 2-year AP degree programme divided into 4 semesters, each with a disciplinary area in focus.
- 1st semester The energy of the building complex
- 2nd semester Energy supply and conversion
- 3rd semester Energy efficient process and production facilities
- 4th semester Internship and final examination project
On the programme you will learn about:
- The energy of the building complex
- Energy supply and conversion
- Energy efficient process and production facilities
- and go on an internship and write a final examination project
The Three Main Elements
The programme is divided into three main elements:
- A compulsory element which roughly makes up half of the programme duration
- An elective element comprising different elective subjects which makes up about one quarter of the duration of the programme
- An internship and final examination project make up the last quarter of the duration of the programme
The Compulsory Element
The compulsory element covers such subjects as:
- Building technology
- Indoor climate systems
- Automation
- Control and regulation
- Conventional and new energy forms
You will also learn about
- Energy analysis
- Energy consumption calculation
- Energy efficient process and production facilities
These subjects will help assure your knowledge of energy efficient projecting and planning and enable you to assess which solutions are more energy economic and environmentally friendly.
Elective elements
The elective elements make up one fourth of the programme, cover a wide range of subjects and give you the possibility of delving into a subject and specialisation of particular interest to you. Here are some examples of elective subjects:
- Process and production facilities
- Building installations
- Alternative and new energy forms
Business understanding
You will learn about subjects connected with business understanding such as being employed in a company or operating your own business. The primary focus and subject areas are:
- Innovation
- Project management
- Business understanding
Different kinds of instruction
During the first three semesters teaching will be a combination of individual task solution, whole class teaching and project work, whereas you will co-operate with a company or business on the final, fourth semester.
Go abroad
You will be able to go abroad for a 3-month internship at one of the educational institutions that UCN Technology & Business collaborates with.
