Education Programmes (B.Sc or M.Sc) on sustainable energy
By Hans De Keulenaer / Published on Sat, 2008-10-04 07:43Dear Colleagues:
We received a reader question for existing dedicated education programmes on sustainable energy leading to a Bachelor or Master's degree.
If you know programmes dedicated to sustainable energy, energy efficiency or renewables, thanks for letting us know. We're interested in programmes around the world in any language.
I'll assemble a list for future reference.
Best regards,
