Energy is the future. 
Because it changes our world, making it more sustainable for our generation and for generations to come. 
Because it is an ever-growing professional field with excellent employment prospects, whose professionals are in clear demand worldwide - let alone graduates of a master's degree with a clear international orientation conducted in English. 
And of course because the imperative need for Corporate Social Responsibility, but also for ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) actions have put Energy issues at the center not only of energy companies but of all companies in the world.
