Content

The Postgraduate of Energy and Climate is innovative and unique in its approach:
 

• The lectures focus on energy for the future: Energy efficiency and renewable energy are studied from the energy endues and services perspective.
• The future is uncertain: Two lecturers, diverging in analysis and proposed solutions, will present their views on contentious policy issues.
• The future is common: The course attracts a broad audience, from non-technical scholars to certified engineers, all eager to explore new perspectives and approaches for addressing energy and climate topics.
   

If you want energy policy, you must understand policy and energy.
 

The programme is designed to equip the participants with the competency to understand the state-of-the-art on energy and climate issues and the ongoing policies and regulations debate. The program aims to improve the understanding of concepts and systems and enhances knowledge regarding tools and technologies. This will enable innovative planning and action from a new perspective and approach. The program is designed in collaboration with lecturers of several scientific disciplines and the working environment. It is embedded in the interdisciplinary networking Institute of Environment & Sustainable Development at the University of Antwerp.
 

The postgraduate program is a part-time study of 30 ECTS credits. It consists of 5 mandatory course modules. Each course module can be followed separately. The postgraduate study can be combined with two additional courses.
