Energy Technology
Why study energy technology?
Energy powers our world. You can help decide where it goes from here. As a graduate in sustainable energy technology, you will design and develop solutions for the safe, affordable, and sustainable production of electricity and heat. You will work on real-world energy systems, helping to advance the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
There are roughly three scenarios for the development of future energy solutions: renewable energy sources (solar, wind, and wave power, hydropower, and bioenergy), safe nuclear power, and carbon capture and use. As a graduate of this programme, you will build a career at the forefront of energy technologies. The field suits students who are interested in technology and want to apply mathematics and natural sciences to real-world problems.
How will you learn?
Most of your studies take place on campus during weekdays. Occasional online courses, as well as courses combining online and on-campus teaching, provide variety and flexibility to your study methods and schedule.
Your studies include
- theoretical lectures
- exercise sessions
- company visits
- projects
- individual and group assignments
- extensive laboratory work
What will you learn?
In your studies, you will become familiar with the production, transmission, distribution and use of energy. You will get comprehensive basic information about energy production methods, such as solar, wind, and thermal technologies, as well as their operation and safety.
Your education will combine technology and science: mathematics, physics, and chemistry. You will learn to master the techniques associated with energy production and apply them to problem-solving. You will learn to convert natural energy resources such as water, wind, or biomass into sustainable energy for human consumption as efficiently as possible.
By the end of the programme, you will be able to apply basic thermal engineering equations to the examination of energy conversion processes and describe the structure and operation of energy technology equipment (boilers, turbines, compressors, fans, heat exchangers).
The programme's main themes are energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. Nuclear power and, above all, nuclear safety will play an important role in the transition to fully renewable energy production. In Finland, studies in nuclear safety are only offered at LUT University.

Energy technology graduates are needed for well-paying jobs that ensure safe, economical, and low-emission energy production. Because energy is always needed – during both economic growth and recessions – there is a need for experts in this field now and in the future.
Extensive knowledge of the energy industry is a hallmark of LUT University’s technology graduates. Our alumni mainly work in development, operation, and management positions in the energy industry and in production, research, and consulting positions.
Graduates work at the forefront of the energy sector, addressing challenges in energy economics, environmental impacts, emission reduction, and renewable energy. Their roles also cover nuclear energy safety and construction as well as the operation and optimisation of power plant systems.
Job options for graduates
- research and development engineer
- senior design engineer
- export manager for an energy technology manufacturer
- reactor engineer at a nuclear power plant
- nuclear safety specialist
- biomass boiler sales director
- technical planner for wind farms
- energy sector consultant
- energy production specialist for industry and the government
