Framework
Many programmes approach the energy transition primarily through policy, management or environmental debate. This BSc places engineering analysis, laboratory work and system design at the centre of the student experience.
Clean energy as a broad theme
- Framed mainly through policy, management or regulation
- Limited exposure to core engineering analysis
- Generalist study before technical specialisation
- System design often postponed to postgraduate level
Clean energy, engineered from the first year
Students progressively model, design and evaluate energy technologies using engineering methods, laboratory evidence and computational tools. From the first semesters, the emphasis is on building, measuring and improving real systems rather than discussing them in the abstract.
Engineering analysis, computational modelling and laboratory experimentation run through the curriculum together. Students work directly with thermofluids and energy systems, electrochemical and hydrogen storage, clean combustion, smart grids and life-cycle assessment — the analytical and experimental core of the clean-energy sector.
As they advance, scientific principles are connected to applied engineering practice across energy production, conversion, storage and sustainability. The result is graduates who can size an installation, interpret performance data and optimise an energy system from end to end.
Designed for international academic mobility
Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree worth 240 ECTS, structured within the European Higher Education Area and the Bologna Process. This supports academic transparency, international comparability and progression to further study in Europe and beyond.
Within this European academic environment, students may also pursue exchange opportunities such as Erasmus+, gaining international study experience during their degree.
Three Schools of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki contribute to the full clean-energy value chain: fundamental science, engineering design and applied technologies. Together, they provide an interdisciplinary academic environment for international students.
A structured learning journey that connects scientific foundations, engineering design and applied clean-energy technologies.
Students learn inside a public, research-active university. The three participating Schools bring established, externally recognised research strength to clean-energy education.

A coherent academic progression
The eight-semester curriculum (240 ECTS) is designed as a coherent progression from scientific foundations to applied clean-energy engineering, laboratory practice and interdisciplinary project work.
Laboratory learning from the early semesters
Students begin with laboratory and computational training in physics, chemistry and engineering. Seventeen courses include laboratory components, combining simulation, experimental measurement and hands-on investigation.
Applied learning in energy systems
As the programme advances, scientific principles are connected with real applications in energy production, conversion, storage, distribution and sustainability assessment.
Project-based learning
Interdisciplinary projects combine scientific analysis with engineering judgement. Laboratory projects and case studies address real challenges in system efficiency, environmental performance and clean-technology deployment.
Step-by-step academic development
Learning outcomes become progressively more advanced, integrating chemistry, thermofluids, materials, data analysis, systems engineering and sustainability perspectives.
Competence built through structured progression
Progression is supported by defined academic and laboratory requirements, helping students graduate with analytical competence, technical confidence and engineering literacy.
Seven career pathways the degree prepares you for

Programme updates and academic context for international students interested in Clean Energy Science and Engineering.
Study in Thessaloniki — an international university city with an accessible cost of living.
Thessaloniki offers international students the scale and opportunities of Greece’s second-largest city, combined with the warmth, accessibility and everyday rhythm of a Mediterranean student destination. With comparatively affordable living costs, strong air connectivity, a coastal urban lifestyle, a rich cultural and food scene, and a welcoming local community, the city provides a supportive environment for studying, living and building international connections.
Graduates prepared to design, evaluate and optimise clean-energy systems.
The programme prepares graduates for technical roles across the energy sector and for advanced study at master’s and doctoral level in Greece and internationally.
