Master's degrees in which GISEL participates

Master’s Degree in Integration of Renewable Energies into the Electric Power System (IERSE)

In recent years, electricity generation from renewable sources and high-efficiency processes has gained increasing importance. This trend supports more sustainable and secure energy systems but also presents challenges to conventional grid operation, creating a growing need for specialized professionals.

The Master’s in Integration of Renewable Energies into the Electric Power System addresses this need by training experts in the interaction between renewable energy generation and the electrical grid. The program provides the skills to design, develop, and implement technical solutions that enable this integration, in line with the European Union’s objectives.

In addition to preparing students to lead projects in the power sector, the program also opens the door to a research career, including access to the interuniversity PhD program “Electric Energy Systems.”

 

Own Master in Hydrogen Technologies

The energy transition demands innovative solutions, and hydrogen is emerging as a key energy carrier alongside renewables. European, Spanish, and Basque strategies now support its deployment.

This master’s program trains professionals in the full hydrogen value chain: production via electrolysis, storage, transport, distribution, and its use in mobility, industrial decarbonization, and heating systems. It targets both students in science and engineering and professionals seeking to update or lead projects in this growing field.

 

Master’s Degree in Control of Smart Grids and Distributed Generation

Smart grids enable the efficient and secure integration of renewable energy sources through the use of ICTs and power electronics. This master’s program trains professionals in the design, integration, and control of smart grid components, addressing the demand from energy companies and research centers.

The curriculum includes modeling and control, power systems, storage technologies, energy management with artificial intelligence, ICTs, and power electronics. The program holds the Unibasq Internationalization Label and offers a double degree with ESTIA (France).

Erasmus Mundus Master in Renewable Energy in the Marine Environment (REM PLUS)

Renewable energy at sea has great potential, but its use presents a great technological challenge. The harsh environmental conditions require specific advanced knowledge in various scientific and technological fields. The aim of the Renewable Energies in the Marine Environment (REM PLUS) Erasmus Mundus Master's degree is to train specialists with the necessary skills to achieve this technological challenge and, specifically, to respond to the industry's demand for skilled professionals.

The REM PLUS master is a joint Erasmus Mundus Master (EMJMD) offered by four universities: the University of the Basque Country, the National University of Ireland-Cork, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the Central School of Nantes.

The Master is co-financed by the European Union's Erasmus + programme and provides access to doctoral studies.

Master in Industrial Engineering

This master’s program qualifies graduates to work as professional industrial engineers and is the natural continuation of the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering. It provides advanced training for both technical and managerial roles in companies, research centers, or public administration.

The curriculum includes core technological subjects and offers 10 specializations to deepen knowledge in key areas of industrial engineering. The program also offers a double degree with Arts et Métiers Paristech (France) and grants access to PhD programs at UPV/EHU.
