Bachelor in Clean Energy Science and Engineering (BSc CESE)
Understand how clean energy systems work
Connect science, engineering and sustainability
Design solutions for the energy transition
You graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree (240 ECTS) aligned with the European Higher Education Area and the Bologna Process. This means your degree is transparent, comparable, and recognised across universities internationally. This program is delivered jointly by three Schools at Aristotle University:
Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, and Agriculture. By studying across these fields, you build a broad understanding of energy systems, materials, sustainability, and the circular economy. Through laboratory work and research activity, you develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand and design modern clean energy technologies.

You develop clean energy expertise through a structured learning path that begins from the early semesters of the program. Your learning combines laboratory work, engineering analysis and computational tools, supported by the facilities and infrastructure of the three participating Schools. As you progress, you work on projects and problem-driven applications, analysing real systems, simulations, and experimental data through laboratory components embedded across the curriculum. Step by step, you build the scientific understanding and engineering skills needed to address modern energy challenges at local, regional, and global levels.
This program builds on the strong academic and research expertise of Aristotle University in energy science, engineering and sustainability.
It brings together the knowledge and facilities of 3 Schools: Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry and Agriculture.
At AU, you gain:
You learn from three Schools. Each brings a different perspective.
Together, they show you how clean energy systems are designed, built, and applied in practice.
The program offers a strong foundation in clean energy science and engineering. You learn how energy systems work, how they are designed and improved, and how they respond to challenges such as climate change, sustainability, and the global energy transition. Below, you can explore the main study areas that shape your studies.
Your learning follows a clearly structured path across an eight-semester program (240 ECTS). You move step by step from scientific foundations to applied clean energy and engineering practice.
You graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree (240 ECTS) aligned with the European Higher Education Area and the Bologna Process. This means your degree is transparent, comparable and recognised across universities internationally, supporting academic mobility and further studies in Europe and beyond. As part of this European academic framework, you may also participate in student exchange opportunities such as the Erasmus+ program, gaining international study experience during your degree.
Imagine yourself working on the systems that power cities. Designing renewable installations. Improving energy storage. Analysing performance data. Testing new technologies. This degree prepares you for roles in renewable energy, clean technology, sustainability, and innovation. You can enter industry. Join research teams. Or continue with postgraduate studies in Greece or abroad. You graduate ready to work in environments where technology and impact meet.
A leading university in Europe
Thessaloniki offers a vibrant and affordable student environment, with a strong academic culture and connections across Europe and the Mediterranean. Located by the Aegean Sea and home to more than one million people in the wider metropolitan area, the city combines a lively student atmosphere with the character of Mediterranean life. Traditions of openness and hospitality shape everyday interactions, making it easy for students to feel part of the community.
Here, university life blends naturally with the rhythm of the city — from studying and meeting friends to walking along the waterfront and exploring neighbourhoods that encourage an active and balanced way of living. Greece is also one of the regions where solar and wind energy are expanding rapidly. Studying here places you close to a real landscape of renewable energy development, where the transition to cleaner energy systems is happening every day.
