The Master’sprogramme “Industrial Heat Power Engineering” is aimed to prepare highly-skilled engineers and specialists in the energy production sector, that provides excellent opportunities for analytical and research minds. Graduates can be employed by power plants and organizations which develop and implement, design and construct, operate and maintainheat power equipment.

The Master possesses skills and competences required to carry out scientific and investigational activities, which imply profound and strong scientific background.Curriculum and subjects taught,enable students to gain the essential toolkit ofreliable knowledge about physical and mathematical aspects, modern theoretical training and research skills. Due to the course organization, graduating students are able to continue their education as post-graduate students.

The course provides students with the ability to implement strategies learned to address major issues in energy industry likeheat generation and supply, energy production, controlling, conversion and transforming technologies.
