The Institute of Engineering (IOE), Tribhuvan University has initiated a two-year (4-semester) M.Sc. in Engineering in Energy Systems Planning and Management (MS-ESPM) from November 2012 in collaboration with the Institute of Energy Systems and Thermodynamics, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria. This master’s program is offered under the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Central Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University.
The Centre for Energy Studies (CES) of the Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University was the implementing agency in Nepal. The Austrian Partnership Program in Higher Education and Research for Development “appear” was the responsible agency and financier of this M.S. program, and the Institute of Energy System and Thermodynamics, Vienna University of Technology was responsible for coordination of this program. The Austrian funding was available from July 2011 to July 2013. From 2014, this master’s program has been included under the regular program offered by the Central Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University.
The 2-year (4-semester) Master of Science program consists of a package of courses covering important areas for planning, policy making, and managing energy systems. This master program is designed to give students a focused, relevant, and utilizable body of knowledge in energy system planning and policy making suitable for people with an interest in starting and managing energy-related projects. Graduates from the program will be prepared to work for government and non-governmental institutions, international organizations, corporations/industries, and entrepreneurial firms in the knowledge economy with capabilities to plan, manage, and formulate energy-related policies.
