The Master of Materials & Energy Transition focuses on engineering solutions for the energy transition and circular economy. Combine study with work-based learning and make a direct impact in practice.

This practice-oriented master's programme centres on applied research in collaboration with the professional field. From the very beginning, you will be bringing your work into practice. You will learn to develop technical solutions for challenges related to the use of energy and materials. You will delve into the technology behind these solutions and the state-of-the-art knowledge available. This provides you with a solid technical foundation for your future career.
Most of all, you learn how to implement technical solutions to real-world problems. This involves more than just technology. Financial aspects, policy, and acceptance by individuals, groups, and society all play a role. You will be able to identify these stakeholders in transition processes, and engage them to create real impact.
This master's programme therefore offers not only in-depth theoretical and technical knowledge, but also practical insight. You will collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds. This master is taught in English.
You will graduate with a Master of Science (MSc) degree.

In the 2-year programme, you apply scientific knowledge and technology for real-world projects. In year 1, you take courses and gain practical experience through a work-based learning placement. In year 2, you complete an individual graduation project in the professional field.
The MET master places great importance on building a learning community and guidance on a personal level. The community supports you throughout your studies and offers a valuable network for when you enter the workforce.
The first academic year consists of 4 periods of 10 weeks. In each period, you take 2 courses and work on a project assignment that you apply at your work-based learning placement. After the introduction in period 1, the focus shifts successively to materials, energy, and transitions. This gives the first year a clear structure and narrative.
In year 2 you complete your individual graduation project. For this purpose, you first make a plan of action about an issue you find interesting. You then complete your project at an external organisation or at an Avans research group. At the end, you present your project and graduate.
