We offer a choice of seven programmes, each designed to give students the right combination of engineering, personal and business management skills. Each offers a challenging syllabus and high-quality content
You should have a Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 180 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits or an equivalent academic qualification from an internationally recognised university. The individual Master’s programmes determine what subjects they will accept. You can find out more about the admissions criteria for each programme here.

As a student of the InnoEnergy Master’s School you will spend your first year at one European university and your second year at another.

All universities and institutions involved in the InnoEnergy Master’s School are accredited by their respective governments, and are internationally recognised. They are:

Details of which programmes take place at which universities are available from each programme’s section of our website.
Absolutely yes. Our programmes attract a global student base. If you are a citizen of an EU country, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland or Switzerland, you are classed as an EU student. If you are a citizen of any other country you are classed as a non-EU student. As a non-EU student, you will need a relevant student visa, and you may need to fulfil certain country-specific requirements for non-EU students. Your first-year university will support your application for a visa, and will send you all the relevant details with your acceptance email.
The subject matter is different for each Master’s programme. However, all courses have a strong entrepreneurial or business-focused element in addition to in-depth technical content. Each programme also places a strong emphasis on project-based work and hands-on experience gained outside the lecture hall or lab. An overview of the two-year programme, plus details of individual courses and the syllabus are available from each programme’s section of our website.
This depends on your study programme. In some cases, you can give a preference for your second year study location in the admission process. You will then receive an acceptance letter with details about both your first and your second year university. In other progrmames you will need to make the decision about your second-year university during your first year of study. Your preferences, the transcript of your previous studies, and the number of available places are all taken into account when allocating second-year places. The decision is taken by representatives from all the universities taking part in the programme. Whenever possible your preferences will be honoured.
Teaching methods and the level of personal engagement with professors and lecturers depends on the university and the programme you choose. However, the majority of our programmes place an emphasis on teaching in smaller groups, with hands-on projects, and solving real-world challenges to help you build positive relationships with leading academics and businesses in your chosen field.
Internships are a compulsory element for most of our programmes. In most cases, you will also have the opportunity to undertake your thesis at one of our industry partners. There are also plenty of opportunities on each programme to engage directly with industry experts.
You can find more details on each programmes’ section of our website.
And you can find more details about our Career Centre.
You normally undertake your thesis in the final semester of the two-year programme. The thesis is worth 30 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, or 45 credits at TU/e – the Technical University of Eindhoven, and will typically be undertaken at one of our industry partners or research centres. The subject of your thesis will be agreed with your course supervisors, and will relate to the subject of the programme with an emphasis on innovation and business management.
You will receive information about recommended reading on the first day of classes. In some courses, teachers provide texts and digital material. You will also have access to e-books, scientific articles and books at your university.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a tool of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) for making studies and courses more transparent and thus helping to enhance the quality of higher education. You can find more information about the ECTS system here.
Credits from the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System – also known as ECTS credits – express the amount of learning, based on defined learning outcomes and their associated workload. They are a tool of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) for making studies and courses more transparent and help to enhance the quality of higher education. Sixty ECTS credits are allocated to the learning outcomes and associated workload of a full-time academic year or its equivalent.
In cases where ECTS credits are not used, we will look at your transcript of records. Please make sure your transcript includes information about the credit system in place in your university or country, including either: credits per hour, OR credits per semester, OR credits per year so that the InnoEnergy Admissions Office can evaluate your degree.
If in doubt, please contact the InnoEnergy Admissions Office for clarification at: admissionsoffice@innoenergy.com

InnoEnergy is the innovation engine for sustainable energy across Europe supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
We support and invest in innovation at every stage of the journey – from classroom to end-customer. With our network of partners, we build connections across Europe, bringing together inventors and industry, graduates and employers, researchers and entrepreneurs, businesses and markets.
We work in three essential areas of the innovation mix:
Bringing these disciplines together maximises the impact of each, accelerates the development of market-ready solutions and creates a fertile environment in which we can sell the innovative results of our work.
InnoEnergy is partly funded by the EU through the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), and from the contributions of our 23 shareholders. As a commercial company, it is also financed by returns from the innovative products it sells, and the products and companies it invests in.
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is a body of the European Union, which was established in March 2008. Its mission is to increase European sustainable growth and competitiveness by developing a new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs to reinforce the EU’s capacity for innovation. You can find out more about the EIT here.
The EIT label means that the programme meets the high standards set by the EIT for education, entrepreneurship and innovation. All of the InnoEnergy master programmes carry the EIT label. You can find more about the EIT and the EIT label here.
