Undergraduate studies in energy education – A comparative study of Greek and British courses

Abstract

Undergraduate energy education in Greece is compared with relevant accredited courses of the United Kingdom, with the aim to transfer good practices applied in the latter for the development and improvement of the Greek courses. Despite the encouraging prospects for energy engineering courses, the situation in Greece seems declining, with only one course being offered in this period. The (unique) Greek course seems to share the same basis with the majority of the British accredited courses, but also a few peculiarities that could be amended for the improvement of the course.
