Master’s program “Information Technologies for Sustainable Energy Engineering” (IT4SEE) has a clearly defined structure based on an interdisciplinary approach, and is aimed at achieving specific learning outcomes (ILO) corresponding to the 7th level of the European Qualifications Framework.
Structure of the educational program
The learning process continues 1.5 years (3 semesters) to gain 90 ECTS credits. The program is delivered entirely in English and combines theoretical training with an intensive practical component.
- First semester (30 credits): Forms a management and engineering foundation. Students study sustainable development economics, IT project management, data analysis, principles of renewable energy, and business English language. The semester concludes with 2-week industrial practiceI n specialized companies.
- Second semester (30 credits): Focuses on deep professional training. Mandatory modules include computer modeling, designing information systems for monitoring energy objects, and studying intellectual property. In addition, students choose three selective modules, allowing you to create an individual trajectory (for example, focusing on Backend development, AI, or materials science).
- Third semester (30 credits): Dedicated to quality standards and practical implementation of knowledge. Students choose two specialized modules and complete the pre-graduate internship (4.5 weeks). The culmination is the execution and defense of Graduation Project.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLO)
The Program Learning Outcomes were developed jointly by experts from IFNTUNG and London South Bank University to ensure compliance with both Ukrainian and British standards. They are divided into four key groups:
- Students will have knowledge and understanding of:
A1. sustainable energy engineering and the place of ICT in energy problems solving.
A2. scientific facts, concepts, theories, principles and methods of applying IT in sustainable energy engineering.
A3. sustainable energy engineering as a research area when working with technical literature and other sources of information.
A4. mathematical principles and methods necessary for the creation of virtual means of applying IT in sustainable energy engineering.
- Students will develop their intellectual skills such that they are able to:
B1. search, process and analyse information from various sources.
B2.to conduct research at an appropriate level.
B3.identify, pose and solve problems.
B4.make informed decisions.
B5.evaluate and ensure the quality of the work performed.
B6.apply a systematic approach to solving scientific and technical tasks of applying IT in sustainable energy engineering.
