Overview

Decentralised Smart Energy Systems degree is offered at Polytechnic University of Catalonia. The program is conceived as a response to problems and needs in the field of thermal energy engineering from areas of work such as energy systems and resources, heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics, numerical and experimental methods in thermal engineering, the design of thermal systems and equipment, heaters and coolers, etc. The ultimate aim is to produce scientific and technical experts with the necessary knowledge and skills to analyse any engineering problem in the field of thermal energy and fluid dynamics.

Professional opportunities

Although the DENSYS master’s degree is oriented towards research, professional opportunities for its graduates are wide-ranging. Graduates may carry out, coordinate and manage basic and applied research, development and innovation in professional sectors such as the following:

• Research, development and innovation departments of companies that operate in the aforementioned areas of work.
• Universities, technology centres and research centres that operate in the aforementioned areas of work.
• Manufacturers of thermal systems and equipment for air conditioning, ventilation and cooling; heat exchangers and accumulators; low- and medium-temperature solar energy collectors; boilers; turbines; etc. Manufacturers of thermal fluid equipment for the aeronautical and aerospace sector.
• Companies in the renewable energy sector: high-temperature solar concentrators, wind turbines and blades, buoy structures, etc.
• Engineering sectors with significant know-how in activities or projects in which the thermal and fluid dynamics field plays a role.
