1 Part-time study is not available for international students
I gained in-depth knowledge of renewable energy technologies and sustainable practices, with a strong balance of theory and hands-on application. The industrial project component was a highlight; I worked with AmSolar on a grid-connected photovoltaic system, where I applied my learning directly to real-world challenges and gained valuable industry experience.”
