Energy systems around the world are going through a revolutionary change as societies continue to shift from fossil to renewable energy. In the midst of all this, the use of clean hydrogen in energy production and storage has been an increasingly hot topic.

As a forerunner in the green transition, Finland has one of the most ambitious climate goals in the world – our country aims to be carbon-neutral by 2035. The local industrial and energy companies are very committed to this target, and they are investing heavily in renewable energy. At the same time, their need for engineers specialised in hydrogen solutions and production is rapidly growing. To reach its climate target, Finland needs at least 200 new hydrogen economy graduates every year, and the demand is only increasing.

The Hydrogen and Electric Systems Master’s Programme gives you a comprehensive view of the energy and hydrogen system and an excellent opportunity to build a career – in Finland or abroad – in a growing field in dire need of workforce. Aalto University has developed the programme in collaboration with the industry, and it deals with the topics companies in the field deem the most important and beneficial. Additionally, many other Aalto schools, such as Business and Chemical Engineering, offer courses that cover themes related to the hydrogen economy, giving students a multidisciplinary view of the hydrogen value chain.

The programme offers two majors: Electric Energy and Hydrogen Systems; and Electric Components of Hydrogen Technology.

On top of the skills acquired from their chosen major, our graduates have the same basic, essential knowledge of the hydrogen field. All our graduates can:

  • Develop and analyse scenarios about hydrogen’s significance in the future electrified and sustainable society.
  • Evaluate the role of hydrogen in connecting the energy industry fields (electricity, gas, heat, water, traffic) as well as the impact of the hydrogen economy on relevant stakeholders.
  • Identify existing and emerging hydrogen-based technologies, analyse their bottlenecks and opportunities as well as apply them properly at the system level.
  • Create and push forward new business models in the hydrogen value chain.
