Energy and Process Technology University of Bergen

Overview

Through this study Energy and Process Technology programme at the University of Bergen, you gain solid knowledge within natural science and technology subjects, with a special focus on safe and sustainable processing of natural resources and production of materials and products.

Key Features

• The process industry is the navel of the green shift. Although Norway is a global leader when it comes to the use of renewable energy, the industry will be facing significant challenges in the years to come. The process industry represents around 20% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Norway and consumes about a third of the total production of renewable energy from hydropower, wind and solar. To meet the demands for reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the Norwegian process industry must reduce the consumption of fossil energy sources, solve the challenges associated with carbon capture and storage, and contribute to sustainable solutions for the production and conversion of renewable energy.

• There are traditionally very good job opportunities for candidates with competency in process technology. Former students have found work in energy companies (including oil and gas), consulting companies, and various branches of the process industry. The work tasks can vary from developing advanced products and materials to consulting services and the lease / operation of industrial facilities. Many also work with research and teaching.
