Why study the Master’s Degree in Renewable Energy Engineering?
- Highly qualified teachers, researchers, experts and professionals from leading companies in the sector such as Siemens-Gamesa, Nordex-Accciona or Ingeteam
- Possibility of carrying out, thanks to the Chair of Renewable Energies of the UPNA, final master's degree works in the main renewable energy companies worldwide (Siemens-Gamesa, Acciona Energía, Ingeteam, etc.)
- High employability and great future prospects: the European Union has set a binding target of 32% in 2030
- Training geared towards meeting the new challenges of distributed generation, a key element in a new andemerging energy model, which has a very promising future and of which the Autonomous Community of Navarre is an international reference.
- Solid training in the main aspects related to the so-called energy collectors and a strong specialization in the topics related to the evaluation of the renewable energy resources, the optimization of the operation of the mentioned collectors, the subsequent conversion of the electrical energy, the integration of the renewable energy systems in the electrical grid and the generation in isolated or weak electrical grids.
- Specialization in:
- Design of large wind and photovoltaic farms
- Power Electronics
- Modelling, simulation and control of renewable energy systems
- Identification and solution of the problems of network integration of large parks
- Design of small installations and isolated systems
- Evaluation of renewable resources
- Electrical storage

Competencies
Access and admission
Access requirements
To be admitted to the official Master's Degree courses, students must hold an official university degree issued by a higher education institution in the European Higher Education Area or in other countries which entitles them to access Master's degree courses in the country issuing the degree.
Specific criteria for the Master's degree
The Master's Degree Academic Committee is ultimately responsible for determining admission. If demand exceeds the number of places available, students will be admitted to the Master's in accordance with the
- number of credits earned
- qualifications obtained in competition-related subjects.
- any professional experience and further training in the field of the same that the student may have received
The Academic Committee, in the event that it considers that the student has not acquired the aforementioned competence, will provide the appropriate recommendations within the framework of what is established by the Public University of Navarre.
Those students with entrance profiles suitable for the Master’s, but with theoretical or practical deficiencies in the areas of electrical machines, electrical circuits and power electronics, must take the following complementary training course:
- Electrical technology for energy conversion in renewable energy systems (4.5 ECTS)
