:: RATIONALE:
This Master's degree proposes high-level training and broad accessibility to different professions, on the important topic of energy transitions, understood as the necessary change from non-renewable sources: oil, gas, coal and nuclear fission, to sources and Renewable fuels that respect the environment: from the sun or solar, from wind or Wind, from water in its different forms (mini-hydroelectric, from tides, from waves, from thermal gradient), from soil (or Geothermal), from biomass (biological material used directly as firewood or transformed into biodiesel, bioethanol or biogas), hydrogen, compressed air and hybrid systems (which combine renewable and non-renewable sources).
These energy solutions combine local and innovative impact, an ecological approach, the reduction of the carbon footprint or greenhouse gas inventory (which is our impact or that of a product/service, a company, organization or local, regional government or national) due to the emission of gases polluting the atmosphere, responsible for global warming), democratic governance, a non-speculative purpose, the green economy and respect for society.
:: DURATION AND MODALITY OF THE RACE:
4 semesters (not including the final project). Total course load: 700 hours. Type of master's degree: professional. Organization of the study plan: it is semi-structured and its delivery is 100% remote. It is organized in 3 modules (Introductory -140 hours-, specialization -280 hours- and optional courses -120 hours-) and a Preparatory Workshop for Thesis, Work or Project -160 hours-
:: GRADUATE PROFILE:
The graduate is expected to develop knowledge, skills and competencies that allow him or her to systemically analyze energy transitions with special emphasis on Latin America and the Caribbean.
Likewise, it is hoped that the methodological training and theoretical knowledge provided will allow you to analyze the problems of energy markets in general and in particular those linked to renewable energies and energy efficiency.
Work will be done to generate skills in both private and public sector professionals to advise, participate in interdisciplinary teams and make decisions about the design, execution and control of energy sector policies.
The Master's degree also aims to generate in the teachers aptitudes and skills for both professional and academic/scientific development in the area.
:: ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
– Those who have a degree in engineering, architecture, a degree in exact sciences, a degree in economic sciences or a degree in Administration, issued by the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, or equivalent degree awarded by Argentine, national, provincial or private, legally recognized universities; as well as those other qualifications that, in the opinion of the academic committee of the degree, may aspire to be admitted.
