The Department also offers an international Bachelor's programme, Bachelor Programme in Energy Transition - Sustainability and Leadership. We are also managing several net-based freestanding courses focusing on wind power planning and project development that form the bachelor’s track Wind Power Project Development. The courses are given in English and Swedish and can be combined to a major in a bachelor's degree in Energy Technology. Outreach: Collaboration, out-reach, is the third important task for the division.
