Double Degree EMESB

The EMESB double degree Agreement

On December 2016 the University of Genoa (Unige)  and the University of Savoie Mont Blanc (Usmb),  have signed an Agreement aimed at activating a joint curriculum of studies named European Master in Engineering for Energy and Sustainable Buildings (EMESB), delivering a double MSc degree in Energy and Solar Buildings (ESB, at Usmb) and Laurea Magistrale in Energy Engineering (En2, at Unige).

The agreement has been renewed on March 2020.

A NEW Agreement is under revision due to changes in the USMB Educational offer. To date (16th feb 2022), the Emesb Degree Program is hence not operational (check this page for updates)

Students admitted to the EMESB  program will be enrolled and will attend classes in both Universities  and they finally will be able to get the double Title in Italy and France.

The Agreement is available here as a synthesis of the official document.

Aims and Study Programme

EMESB  is aimed at training MSc engineers to become specialists in the field of the energy conversion and management, from conventional resources to the renewable ones, with special focus on  Solar Energy.

For EMESB students mobility is compulsory and it is related to the first semester of their second year. Lectures will be held at the Savona Campus (En2, Unige) and at Locie, Polytech Annecy Chambery, site of Bourget du Lac (ESB, Usmb).
