You can select two out of the four partner universities as study location. Your second-year choice will depend on the specialisation that interests you. For example, UPC focuses on solar photovoltaics while IST focuses on wind power. So, the first step for you is looking into what the different universities offer and the courses available.

Once you chose the university, select your favourite subjects. Look into the agenda and the content and if in doubt, reach out to the professors listed. They are always open to help and can give you a better overview of what will be covered during the lectures.

You can also ask your colleagues! Get on the phone or invite a former student for coffee and ask them about their experience. They can give you a different perspective and even share some tips about how to structure your study year, how big is the workload and describe how the deliverables and the exams look like.

Remember to check how the subject is evaluated and if the schedule works for you. If you prefer to be more hands on, look for group projects. But if you’d rather work at your own pace, look for an option that has only a final exam and individual deliverables – I recommend combining both. Make sure to count the number of ECTS credits you have available and match that with the subjects in a way that makes sense.
