Examples for students of the University of Groningen
If you are a student at the University of Groningen, there is one minor (Energy) which will immediately give you the 30 ECTS you need for the Energy Academy Certificate. All other academic plans will be judged on a case by case basis. The student’s academic plan should contain different disciplines, ideally 20 ECTS within your own subject area/faculty and 10 ECTS outside. If the examples below are not suited to your situation, see our FAQ for more information or contact Sarah Jane Fuchs.
Examples for obtaining the Energy Academy Certificate

Bachelor – Minor Future Planet Innovation + energy courses
Open to all bachelor students from the University of Groningen.
- This minor generates 15 ECTS (out of 30 needed) in interdisciplinary Energy Education.
- When you focus your project on energy transition, you obtain another 15 ECTS of Energy Education.
- You can also add 15 ECTS of Energy Education from your own field of study:
- Physics: ‘Geo-energy’ (5 ECTS), ‘Energy from Gas’ (5 ECTS).
- Chemistry: ‘Bioenergy, Metabolism and Bioresources’ (5 ECTS), ‘Solar cells’ (5 ECTS).
- Psychology: ‘Social environment and behaviour’ (5 ECTS), ‘Social Influence’ (5 ECTS).
- Human Geography: ‘Environment and Engineering’ (5 ECTS), ‘Planning and Environment’ (5 ECTS).
