Thesis project

After completing all course work the final thesis project will be proposed and assigned to the students within the domain of sustainable energy engineering and conducted under the guidance of an advisor from the programme as well as an external advisor from the country in which the thesis project is going to be carried out. A certain number of thesis projects will be offered to students to be performed within the consortium member universities, which can possibly ensure financial support in cooperation with industry. The project may be carried out at a university, research institute or in a non-academic setting such as a power plant, energy consulting company, research and/or development department in a factory, or other industry/business. Students are encouraged to define topics on their own, preferably the ones related to the energy engineering problems arising from the specific conditions and requirements in the student's home country. The work on the thesis should be performed within a period of 5-6 months during which student is expected to regularly inform the advisor about the project progress. Completed thesis will be formally presented / defended in front of a committee consisting of the project advisors and invited referees. The presentation can take place either at FSB in Zagreb, or at any other location (e.g. student's home country) if this is more convenient to the parties involved.

Upon successful completion of the programme and defence of the thesis project student is awarded by FSB the degree of Master of Science with specialization in Sustainable Energy Engineering.
