Profile of the graduates

A graduate of the Faculty of Energy Technology will be able to design, lead, manage and maintain energy systems of all sizes, as well as being equipped with the knowledge required to connect machinery and devices into a technologically operational energy system. He will not be a constructor of energy technology devices and machinery; this knowledge will remain under the purview of the Faculties of Mechanical or Electrical Engineering. Our graduates will be capable of designing and managing the construction of the largest systems for exploitation of alternative and
renewable energy sources. Graduates of the Faculty will also processess knowledge from areas such as ecological standards, energy management, energy trade, etc.

Why study at the Faculty of energy technology?

The reasons for development of the courses of energy technology originate from the lack of experts in this field; this lack has frequently been a publically expressed necessity. Energy technology experts, such as those educated by the Faculty of Energy Technology, are highly sought in Slovenia (there are not sufficient numbers of them), since this is an expressly interdisciplinary oriented course, intended primarily for management of the different energy technologies. The nearest faculty active in terms of a similar course of study is in Aachen, Germany.

Job opportunities

The profile of a graduate of the Faculty of Energy Technology is highly sought in Slovenia. The completed analyses indicate that most of the graduates are able to find employment each year. The increasing number of commercial companies operating in the energy field offer scholarships to students of the Faculty. Energy experts are employable in different fields: research and academic institutions, government organizations, bodies of local self-government and, of course, in the private sector.
