Presentation
The Bachelor’s Degree in Energy Engineering at the Universidade de Vigo is a four-year, full-time undergraduate program offered through the School of Mining and Energy Engineering on the Vigo campus. It is taught in both Galician and Spanish and comprises 240 ECTS credits.
This degree provides comprehensive training in the field of energy systems and technologies, preparing graduates to understand, design, optimize, and technically manage processes across the entire energy sector — from energy generation to end-use in thermal or electrical systems.
The program addresses key challenges in modern energy systems, including:
- Energy production and transformation from various sources.
- Energy storage, transport, distribution, and efficient use.
- Renewable energy technologies such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass energies.
- Energy efficiency and sustainability principles.
- Integration of digital and technological innovations in energy processes.
Main Objective
This degree does not qualify for a regulated professional title in Spain, but it equips graduates with the technical skills and knowledge needed to work in a variety of sectors related to energy production, management, and technology.
Typical areas of study include energy conversion systems, energy markets, energy efficiency, and both conventional and renewable energy technologies. Training combines scientific foundations with practical, engineering-oriented applications to address contemporary energy challenges.
