Sustainable Energy

ISU is the first university in Georgia offering the two-module program “Energy and Mineral Resources Management and Sustainable Development” with its two degrees: Master of Energy Management and Master of Mining and Geology Management. In addition to theoretical training, the program offers hands-on experience by internships in private, governmental and non-governmental organizations. Students are trained to make decisions based on the economic and ecological factors, to consider sustainability issues, international trends and Georgia’s energy security needs.
