Master's track Energy Conversion and Storage

In the Master’s track Energy Conversion and Storage (ECS) you gain specialized knowledge on energy systems and their underlying fundamental principles to prepare you for a prominent role in the energy transition towards a more sustainable future.

Have you ever wondered how we can use sustainable resources to heat homes or facilitate industrial processes? Or how to design CO₂ neutral transport solutions? How about developing customized fuels and engines or designing systems and materials for energy conversion and storage? This master’s track enables you to find answers to a range of energy transition challenges.

What’s the track all about?
The Master’s track Energy Conversion and Storage merges issues relevant to the energy transition. These topics include clean engines, fuels, and energy storage solutions. These solutions address applications from sustainable homes through industrial processing to those on a system level. You learn how to optimize the engineering of energy systems, machinery, and materials through computation and experimentation. And you apply essential fundamental principles of advanced thermodynamics and flow mechanics.

As a future engineer graduating within this master’s track, we prepare you for addressing challenges in the energy transition. We work alongside you as you develop solutions for decarbonizing the energy sector, and optimizing flow, storage, and conversion of heat and energy.

Why should I follow this track at TU/e?
At the TU/e we facilitate a hands-on learning experience. The courses we offer and the projects you undertake build upon real-life challenges in the context of the energy transition. You have the opportunity to engage with world-leading experts in the field from our institute as well as international partner institutions such as EuroteQ. You gain access to our state-of-the art laboratories and computational facilities. You are offered insight into the latest research developments in the energy domain. And you discuss future developments and opportunities with our network of industrial partners, including start-ups and key energy sector players. The energy transition requires integrated local and global solutions. At our institute, we facilitate a diverse environment and invite everybody to register for this master’s track. We support you in developing your own ideas and teaming up with your fellow students. We help you to develop a professional network and scout possibilities to enact your initiatives. We position our master’s students to make an impact on the energy transition and society whilst studying.
