Why study at ATA

The Future of Energy and Sustainable Development<br /> <br />

This specialization prepares students to work in the rapidly growing renewable energy sector, which is becoming a cornerstone of the global energy transition.
In the face of depleting fossil fuel resources and climate change, investments in technologies such as photovoltaic panels, wind farms, and biogas plants are becoming essential to the future of energy.

The growing importance of the circular economy

Contemporary societies are moving toward an economic model that minimizes waste and maximizes its reuse. Graduates of this specialization will acquire skills in effective waste management, which is becoming a priority in the environmental policies of many countries.

This specialization provides solid knowledge on how to implement renewable energy sources (RES) in industry and other sectors of the economy, which is crucial for reducing CO₂ emissions. In industries such as food, textile, or chemical, integrating renewable energy sources (e.g., biogas, solar energy) enables significant cost savings and reduces environmental impact.

High career prospects and strong demand for specialists

The energy transition, the need to protect natural resources, and the challenge of waste management are driving a growing demand for specialists in this field. Companies involved in renewable energy, water management, recycling, and environmental protection require skilled engineers capable of managing modern technologies and projects.

What can you do after these studies?
