Target Group and Admission Requirements

Bachelor in chemical or mechanical engineering.

At least 24 credits mathematics and 6 credits statistics must be included in the bachelor degree.

Aim of the Programme

The program focuses upon environmental friendly energy production from both renewable and non-renewable energy sources, and upon prevention of pollution of air and water. Central topics are energy technology and process technology. Specialization is given in the field combustion and energy, and in physical and biological cleaning processes.

The successful candidate can find employment with companies working with safety and environmental risk analysis, design and operation of pollution abatement facilities or water treatment plants, energy production, management, and distribution, and with research institutes.

The program qualifies for admission to doctor studies in technology at Norwegian and foreign universities.
