Below you can explore the courses offered in each semester. They provide a clear overview
of the subjects you will study and the structure of the program throughout the coming years.
Throughout your studies, you are taught and mentored by scientists, engineers, and researchers from three Schools of Aristotle University: Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Agriculture.
They guide your learning, share insights from energy research and engineering practice, and support the development of the analytical and technical skills needed to understand and design modern clean energy systems.
