The programme primarily trains young people to become independent researchers in the emerging field of Energy & Sustainability, which is expected to undergo a fast growth over the next decades.

Graduates are qualified to pursue a PhD degree. They are also well equipped to pursue a career as a physicist in industry, in business or other relevant sectors, such as energy companies. The broad education, covering both science and business/management aspects particularly enable graduates to participate in advisory and policy functions of companies and governments with respect to science, energy and sustainability matters.
