Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree - DENSYS 2.0

Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree DENSYS 2.0 is a collaborative two-year (120 ECTs) joint master degree programme with the goal to provide training in the inter-disciplinary fields of Decentralised smart ENergy SYStems. These systems play an increasing role in the perspective of a massive integration of the renewable energy sources into the energy system and the ongoing transition towards a low carbon society.

The programme is open for all applicants around the world. The number of places in the programme being limited, admission is highly competitive. The eligibility requirements (validated by all Consortium universities) are the following:
