The Master's degree programme in Energy Science and Technology (MEST) is offered by ETH Zurich to enable future engineers to rise to the challenge of developing future sustainable energy systems. The programme provides education in a large number of scientific disciplines. Students individually structure their own study profile by selecting from a wide range of courses across many of the ETH departments.
The MEST programme offers students a choice of 41 different tutors from nine different ETH departments, all of whom are Professors undertaking energy-related research: MEST tutors.
