The Master Thesis has as its main purpose the opportunity to work in a scientific manner, analyzing problems and synthesizing solutions based on both the general and specialized knowledge acquired during the studies. The future Energy Systems Engineer must be able to deal with serious technical issues, to search for and manage scientific knowledge and sources and to present work in writing and orally in the best possible way. At the same time, the Master Thesis offers an opportunity to delve into a topic of particular interest to each student, which can introduce them to the corresponding field of application or research and constitute the first step of a corresponding professional or research career.
