The Department of Energy Technology Engineering, of
the Technological Educational Institute (T.E.I.) of Athens, in response to
great demand for postgraduate studies in the field of Energy, in conjunction
with the rapid development of Energy Applications, has come to an agreement
with Heriot-Watt University of Edinburgh, one of the best universities in the
UK in subjects relating to energy, to conduct a postgraduate course of study.
This Postgraduate Programme entitled "MSc in
Energy Technology" is conducted in cooperation of the Department of Energy
Technology Engineering of the Faculty of Technological Applications of TEI
Athens with the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences of the Heriot Watt
University in Edinburgh. This program is an evolution of the precedent course
"MSc in Energy" held successfully between the years 2007 to 2013,
which has been assessed positively by the external evaluation of the Energy
Technology Engineering Department in 2012.
The Postgraduate Program awards a Master of Science
(MSc) in "Energy Technology" (Official Gazette Publication No
1359/B-28.5.2014). The MSc Certificate is uniform and it is awarded jointly by
the two collaborating institutions.
The specific aims of the programme are to provide a
practical and theoretical grounding in technologies and wider knowledge and
skills relevant to the Energy sector, for the practicing Engineer, as well as
Decision-making managers and Policy makers.
Specifically:
· To address current energy issues and the
future of the energy industry by integrating technologies with management
strategies.
· To produce postgraduates who will be able to
take a leading role in the formulation of the future directions of industries
related to the energy sector in the widest sense.
· To equip postgraduates with knowledge and
skills needed to influence positively business strategies.
· To give postgraduates a broad technical
understanding across the disciplines, but also deeper knowledge and working
skills of chosen specialist technologies.
· To enable students to operate in
multidisciplinary contexts.
· To develop problem-solving skills and the
ability to apply such skills in developing innovative solutions in order to
satisfy society¢s practical needs.
· To enable students to pursue their personal
interests in depth by providing a wide range of options.

Admission criteria
Admission to the Master of Science in Energy Technology in ÔÅÉ Áthens is decided by a joint committee of people consisting of at least two members appointed by each one of the two institutions, after recommendations of the relevant Programme Directors. The admission procedure takes place at the beginning of the course.
The candidate students must meet the admission prerequisites for the Master of Science in Energy Technology of both Heriot Watt University and ÔÅÉ Athens. Final admission approval is given by the two Programme Directors after a meeting.
The Admission criteria are:
University Degree or University Diploma with additional evaluation of the file of each candidate.
The maximum number of students that can register for the programme during the first year is thirty five (35).
The admission of students takes place twice a year, in September and January.
Programme participants¢ rights and responsibilities
This Programme will be on a full or part time basis and its duration will be three or four semesters distributed in two academic years. The responsibility for its organisation and operation jointly lies with TEI Athens and Heriot Watt University .
In special cases, when the student faces serious health problems, the duration of the programme may extend one more academic year.
The educational programme commences with two or three semesters whose objective is the acquisition of the know-how for the professional practice covered by the Programme. Special emphasis is given to practical assessment in the form of a number of minor and major assignments. The last semester (third or fourth) is devoted to research work.
The students of ÔÅÉ Athens are subject to screening tests on their knowledge which are based on the agreement of the institutions and defined in the Study Regulations of the Programme.
The support/supervision of the dissertations in Athens is organised by the Coordinating Committee.
