SUNGKYUNKWAN UNIVERSITY (SKKU)

Master in 미래에너지공학과

Jongno-gu, South Korea Taught in English Open to international students

About the Program

Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) offers a master's degree in Future Energy Engineering through its department in Jongno-gu, South Korea, centered on the technologies needed to generate, store, and manage energy in ways that reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Coursework typically covers renewable energy systems such as solar and wind, battery and energy storage technology, hydrogen and fuel cell systems, and the power electronics and grid infrastructure required to integrate these sources into everyday use. Students examine both the engineering fundamentals behind energy conversion and the practical challenges of scaling new technologies for commercial deployment. Because the field is forward-looking by design, coursework often incorporates emerging areas such as smart grids and energy storage materials alongside more established topics in thermodynamics and electrical engineering. Graduates typically move into roles at energy utilities, renewable technology manufacturers, battery and materials companies, or government and research institutes focused on energy policy and infrastructure. Positions might include energy systems engineer, research scientist, or technical consultant, particularly within Korea's expanding renewable energy and battery manufacturing sectors. The program combines classroom instruction with laboratory and simulation work, and most students complete a thesis addressing a specific technical problem in energy conversion or storage. It runs two years, with intakes in March and September of every year, and is taught entirely in English, drawing an international student body alongside Korean nationals. Entering students generally hold undergraduate degrees in mechanical, electrical, chemical, or materials engineering, and the program is built to prepare graduates for the technical demands of an energy sector in active transition.
