The Energy Engineering Degree Course provides a solid foundation in basic science subjects, including mathematics, physics and chemistry. It also provides a cultural foundation that encompasses various fields of industrial engineering, with a particular focus on applied thermodynamics, electrical engineering, and electrical and chemical systems.
The programme offers a range of methodological approaches and an interdisciplinary perspective, enabling students to address issues related to energy use and the scientific and technical implications of topics such as energy conversion, devices, energy plants and systems, as well as energy management and planning.
Obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Energy Engineering grants access to the Master’s Degree Courses in Electrical Engineering (LM-28) and Energy Engineering (LM-30).

After registering, you'll need to choose a course. You can find the video tutorial at this LINK.

You can choose:

  • Standard enrolment;
  • Degree program shortening (in the event of a university degree already obtained);
  • Relocation from another University.

The procedure will request:

  • ID scanned copy
  • passport-sized photo (please check size)
  • High school diploma details (Secondary School Name, year, final mark).

Students with a foreign qualification are required to upload:

  • Declaration of Value (DV) issued by the Italian Diplomatic Authorities in their home country, along with the official translation into Italian of the diploma, legalised (or with an "apostille") and validated, OR, the ENIC-NARIC certificate is accepted in Italian Language. These documents should attest at least 12 years of schooling and the relevant qualification should allow the access to higher education.

For Degree Program shortening the obtained University degree will be required. For relocation from another University previous university career will be required from the other university.

At the end of procedure please print and sign the FORIM to complete enrolment and upload it on the Alice portal in the Career section annexes.

Students with special needs

Students with handicap under art. 3 Italian Law no. 104/1992 or with a certified disability equal or above 66% are required to upload a medical certificate attesting their health condition for university tuition fees exemption (duty stamp is required anyway).
