Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The specialisation in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology covers advanced aspects, including energy system modelling, heat and mass transfer, control engineering and experimental work. The specialisation also involves different hydrogen and fuel cell related components and energy system aspects. A new laboratory has been built, giving you the possibility of constructing and operating fuel cell-based technologies in real applications.
The objectives of the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology MSc syllabus are:
The themes of the three-semester study in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology give you an in-depth understanding of the technologies of fuel cell systems and hydrogen production and storage. The programme is multidisciplinary, integrating general engineering disciplines, such as thermal systems, fluid dynamics, control engineering and electrical engineering.
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.
Furthermore please note the official language requirements for international students applying to Aalborg University. You must complete and pass one of the following:
Admission to the MSc programme in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology presupposes a BSc degree in Thermal Energy Engineering, Thermal Processes or similar.
For further information regarding deadlines and requirements please see the website How to apply to Aalborg University.
Students from outside EU/EEA please see http://www.apply.aau.dk/how-to-apply-postgraduate/tuition-fee/
The gained knowledge enables the MSc graduates to work in project engineering, research, development and management in Danish and international industries or public institutions.
Examples of possible employers:
•Companies involved directly in fuel cells and hydrogen technology such as Danfoss, IRD Fuel Cell Technology, Dantherm Power and Ballard
•Energy supply companies such as Vattenfall, DongEnergy, Energinet.dk
•Other thermo-mechanical companies
•Counselling companies
During the MSc programme in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology (HYTEC), you will study energy systems based on hydrogen and fuel cell technology.
The programme covers production of hydrogen, application of hydrogen in fuel cells and interaction with other energy systems. Hydrogen technology is a very important aspect in future industrial energy supply systems but also in the transport industry and energy storage systems.
The teaching of the programme is carried out in an innovative, dynamic and challenging environment through a combination of research-based courses, team-based project work and a high degree of interaction with industrial partners and energy supply companies.
The companies take an active part in providing project proposals for the problem-oriented project work, guest lectures and visits to the companies.
The programme provides knowledge of modelling and optimisation of the thermal, electrical and chemical subsystems. Career opportunities include R&D departments in major companies working with hydrogen and fuel cells based technologies and systems.
The teaching is carried out in English because many international students are enrolled in the study programme.
