Why study

The fundamental objective of the Master is the training of specialized graduates within the field of energy efficiency and sustainability, trying to respond to the demands that will arise in the labor market, as a consequence of the development of the regulatory framework related to energy efficiency and the sustainable development goals.

Royal Decree 56/2016, of February 12, aims to promote and promote actions to be carried out within a framework of sustainability in energy consumption processes that can contribute to:

  • The saving and efficiency of the primary energy consumed.
  • Optimize the energy demand of the installation, equipment or energy-consuming systems.
  • Have a sufficient number of competent and reliable professionals in order to ensure the effective and timely application of regulations and/or regulations.
  • In addition, the Royal Decree offers the possibility for students of this Master to be directly accredited as energy service providers.

The great growth of the international and European energy sector in recent years is committed to a better use of energy, as well as its generation from non-polluting sources for the environment and always in a context of sustainability. In response to social, political and economic demands, there is a great demand for professionals with high-level training in these areas, but also with a high level of demand in terms of theoretical and practical knowledge, only attainable through postgraduate university studies.

The Renewable Energy Action Plans, both national and international, predict a highly competitive and specialized growing labor market in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainability for the future.
