Sustainable Energy Technologies is a specialisation in the Innovative Technologies and Advanced Materials programme (first-cycle engineering studies) at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. It is a good fit if you want to design, measure and assess energy solutions, from the audit of a building to renewable installations, and to do it in English.
The block opens with an energy audit workshop. You learn the types of audits for industrial, residential and commercial buildings, assess energy efficiency, find the areas that consume most, and write audit reports with recommendations. A course on sustainable materials and the circular economy builds on life cycle analysis of a product, the choice of materials and recycling strategies, and ends with an implementation plan for a small manufacturing company.
Energy sources get courses of their own. Elements of nuclear energy go through radioactive decay, ionising radiation, radiation shielding and the energy balance of fission. The wind and hydropower course teaches how to design an installation for local conditions, estimate its energy output and prepare technical documentation.
A path about energy, not about product design: you work on saving, generating and managing energy, while the other specialisation of the programme, Virtual Prototyping, focuses on computer-aided design and CNC manufacturing. You choose between them after the second semester.
In the courses on hybrid and solar systems you work on measurements, for example:
Graduates may work as renewable energy engineers and specialists, energy auditors, specialists in hybrid energy systems and energy storage, energy efficiency consultants or experts in the circular economy. The programme is practical, and professional internships are part of its study plan, so you meet the workplace before you graduate.
