Science and Materials of Solar Energy

The program is designed to train future engineers who will implement sustainable energy solutions. Thus, its content balances between theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of renewable energy. Our students learn about the pros and cons of conventional and renewable energy sources, explore solar energy conversion as a concept, develop solar panels for the IoT and create “invisible” materials under the supervision of the world-renowned lecturers and scholars.
