Foreword
International agreements on CO2 reduction and European directives on the expansion of
renewable energy generation ensure that the rapid growth in renewable energy installations
will continue. Skills shortages in this sector are already being identified and the expected
growth will only exacerbate the situation. Within the rapidly expanding European renewable
energy industry, an urgent demand exists for more post-graduate trained staff, specialized in
renewable energy technology. EUREC Agency together with leading European Universities
involved in renewable energy education and training have responded to this demand through
the development of the European Master in Renewable Energy.

Five core universities and six specialisation universities across Europe, each one with
demonstrated experience in teaching and research excellence in a particular renewable
energy, have joined forces to create a unique joint programme offering you the full benefit of
their collective expertise and international networks.

I am very glad you chose Hanze UAS to be your core provider of the European Master in
Renewable Energy. On behalf of our staff I wish you a successful study and a very pleasant
stay in the beautiful city of Groningen.

 2. The MSc in Renewable Energy in Groningen

Welcome
to the Master of Science in Renewable Energy programme in Groningen. One of Europes
biggest challenges is designing the transition towards a sustainable energy system
based on renewable energy. Energy scarcity and environmental problems are major
challenges. There is a need for highly skilled professionals with fundamental
interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and tools to tackle these challenges and find new
solutions. The combination of technical, strategic, social and environmental issues
encountered in the energy transition represents a significant multidisciplinary approach. It
requires more senior technical professionals and highly educated engineers who can
work with experts from other disciplines and carry out applied scientific research to come
up with practical solutions, by doing applied research, consultancy work or providing
strategy and policy advice. Completing the European Master in Renewable Energy
gives you a technical and systems perspective of energy transition challenges with a
focus on renewables. You will be able to design, test, and implement new technologies
with a systemic and interdisciplinary approach, making you essential to the whole energy
industry. In addition to this, the programme has a clear international focus, not only
because of the international student mix, but also because you are expected to follow
part of the programme at a second university in Europe. Gaining experience through real
life business cases and projects is another important characteristic of the programme.
This study guide provides you with the necessary information about the aims and structure of
the English Masters degree programme.

The most important legal rules that apply to this programme can be found in the following
documents:
Student Charter (https://www.hanze.nl/eng/study-at-hanze/education-in-the-
netherlands/legal-matters)
Teaching and Examination Regulations (OER)
Code of conduct (https://www.hanze.nl/eng/study-at-hanze/education-in-the-
netherlands/legal-matters)

All students who enrolled in the EMRE programme in Groningen are expected to be
familiar with these rules. If unclear or inconsistent information is provided, even in this
catalogue, then the formal rules always have priority.

2.1. Aim of the Programme

The EMRE programme is offered by five core Universities of the EUREC consortium: Hanze
UAS Groningen (the Netherlands), MINES-Paristech (France), Loughborough University
(UK), Oldenburg University (Germany) and the University of Zaragoza (Spain).
The specialisation semester is carried out by six Universities: National Technical University
of Athens (Greece), University of Northumbria (UK), University of Zaragoza (Spain),
University of Perpignan (France), Instituto Superior Tecnico (Portugal) and Hanze UAS (the
Netherlands). Each one is an internationally recognized university with strong reputations
and with demonstrated experience in teaching and research excellence in a particular
renewable energy technology.

The programme is divided into three semesters. During the core semester, you acquire a
solid foundation in the technical and engineering aspects related to innovative energy system
design and implementation and their various related interdisciplinary aspects. Theoretical
courses which also examine the socioeconomic issues surrounding the deployment of these
technologies are supported by laboratory workshops.

In the second semester you specialise in a chosen technology at a different university.

Hanze UAS offers the specialisation semester in Sustainable Fuel Systems for Mobility.

In the third semester, you apply your new knowledge and skills by means of a dissertation
which involves a research project at a company or a research center. The EUREC
consortium has a wide network of companies in the renewable energy industry where EMRE
students can do their research project. Students are also encouraged to find themselves a
company or research center for doing the research project. At the end of the masters
programme, you will present your final dissertation results to an assessment committee,
during the presentation days in Brussels.

2.2. Aim of the Study Guide

This Study guide provides an overview of the EMRE Master programme. Details of
amendments, should they be made, will be sent to the students Hanze UAS e-mail address
(@st.hanze.nl), which should be checked regularly, and will be available on Blackboard, the
electronic learning environment of the Hanze UAS.

5.1. Registration for courses and exams

!Registration for courses and exams is mandatory!

Registering for courses

It is necessary to register for each course, whether lecture, practicum or Masters thesis.
Students must register online, via the internet site www.hanze.nl/ Osiris
Students will be registered for the courses (and exams) of the first semester by the secretary
of the programme.
As soon as you are successfully registered for a course, you are also registered for the first
exam opportunity for that course. Always check if you are registered for the resit, then
without registration you cannot attend the resit!

Each course has two exams (exam and resit) per module. Date and place of exams are
published online, in the courses time tables: Exam Schedule

5.2. Notification of Absence

It is possible that due to your absence you miss a (re)sit examination or a practical session.
To be eligible for an additional re-sit, you need to submit (besides this absence notification) a
request to the examination board. The examination board will check whether an extra exam 15
is necessary, or whether you can participate in an exam opportunity in the next academic
year. It is a misconception that students will always be granted an additional re-sit (exam)
when they miss an exam. More information can be found on Hanze.nl. Read this information
carefully before submitting your request!
With respect to all other matters related to your absence (scheduled appointments with your
projectgroup, meetings with a lecturer, or due to attending mandatory lectures) do contact
those concerned.
Notification of Absence needs to be sent to:
https://www.hanze.nl/eng/education/engineering/school-of-
engineering/organisation/practical-matters/notification-absence-student

5.3. Exam results

All exams and papers are graded and the grades are submitted to the registrar within ten
working days. Grades are posted in Osiris, where you can inspect them. Only results in
Osiris are valid: no rights can be claimed from feedback given by the lecturer on Blackboard.
A copy of the grade list can be downloaded from Osiris by the student. A hard copy of ones
grades can be requested at the end of the semester at the secretary of the programme.

5.4. Objections, appeals and complaints

When you dont agree with the result of an exam or a decision regarding examination, you can
send an appeal to the examination board within six weeks of publication of the result.
 The Examination Board monitors, evaluates and adjusts the quality of the study programmes of
the Institute of Engineering, by means of supervising the examinations and the preliminary
examinations. The Examination Board is the body which determines in an objective and
professional manner whether a student has achieved the conditions set out by the Education

obtaining a degree.

More information can be found on Blackboard/European Master in Renewable Energy AY/

Exams.

Other matters
In case you have complaints and/or questions regarding other matters (discrimination,
discourteous treatment, stalking etc.) you can get in touch with the counsellor

5.5. Masters exam and Diploma Ceremony

The Masters diploma is awarded after completion of the 90 EC degree programme.
Requesting the diploma has become a part of the electronic submission of the grades of
the Masters thesis. The resulting list of program units will be submitted to the exam
committee for approval. After the list of program units has been approved, and all exams
have been passed, the official diploma will be printed.

If a student would like to follow additional classes, on top of the required 90 ECs, he/she
is required to register for those courses to include those courses in the official list of
16 program units that is submitted to the exam committee. Students who fail to do so will not
have the grades of extra courses on their final diploma.

The diploma ceremony for the Masters degree take place once per year in February.
The exact date of the diploma ceremony will be communicated by mail.

After being awarded with the diploma you are entitled to the degree Master of Science
and to use the abbreviation MSc after your family name: A.B. Familyname MSc.
