MSc in Energy for Circular Economy
This programme was developed under the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project, EUSL Energy. The programme is offered in collaboration with the Open University of Sri Lanka, University of Moratuwa and University of Ruhuna. The programme starts with a common first year (semesters 1 & 2) and then specializations in the 3rd semester. There are four specialization tracks
-
- Energy for Industry (offered by The Open University of Sri Lanka)
- Renewable Energy Systems (offered by University of Moratuwa)
- Power Generation and Supply (offered by University of Peradeniya)
- Energy Technology and Management (offered by University of Ruhuna)
The students who opt to follow Power Generation and Supply track are enrolled as postgraduate students of University of Peradeniya and thus offered the MSc degree from the University of Peradeniya.
