Energy Business and Audit
Why choose this programme?
The energy and construction sectors are undergoing rapid transformation, driven by the need to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and adapt infrastructure to the demands of sustainable development. This shift has created a growing demand for professionals who not only possess practical engineering skills, but also a broad understanding of energy technologies, energy auditing, and a business-oriented perspective on the energy market.
In response to this demand, VIZJA University offers a modern, practice-oriented Bachelor of Engineering programme in Energy Business and Audit. This programme is designed for students who wish to develop competencies in understanding, designing and implementing innovative solutions at the intersection of engineering and contemporary energy management.
With a strong emphasis on practical skills, the curriculum ensures that you gain solid foundations in energy systems, construction technologies and heating systems, while also learning to use professional CAD/CAM design tools and methods for measuring and evaluating the energy performance of buildings and installations.
A key focus is placed on topics such as the decarbonisation of building resources—the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector—as well as energy audits and sustainability reporting. These are areas of increasing importance for investors, consultancy firms and certification bodies alike.
If you are looking to build unique, interdisciplinary skills that combine engineering, technology and business, and want to play a real role in shaping a modern, energy-efficient economy—this degree is for you.
What can you do after graduation?
As a graduate of the Energy Business and Audit programme at VIZJA University, you will develop interdisciplinary skills that open up a wide range of career opportunities in fast-growing sectors linked to energy, technology and sustainable development.
You will be qualified to work in roles that require both engineering knowledge and the ability to analyse and optimise energy processes – in consulting firms, construction companies, public institutions, the renewable energy sector, and in the technical or operations departments of large organisations.
You may also choose to start your own business in areas such as energy consultancy, preparing energy audit documentation, or implementing energy-efficient solutions for single-family and multi-family buildings.
The competencies you acquire will also prepare you to thrive in modern consultancy firms that deliver projects focused on energy transition and sustainable development.
This programme
is for you if:
you have strong analytical skills and want to develop them into valuable professional competencies,
you are interested in modern engineering and technologies that contribute to energy and environmental goals,
you are considering a future-oriented career in sectors such as renewable energy, energy-efficient construction or energy transition.
New requirements for visa applications
Note: important information for bachelor’s degree candidates (first-cycle studies)
In line with the new requirements for visa applications introduced by Polish consulates around the world, candidates applying for a student visa are now required to submit a document confirming their eligibility to apply for a bachelor’s degree (first-cycle studies), issued by the Polish Education Superintendent Office (in Polish – Kuratorium Oświaty). Previously, this document could be provided after arrival in Poland, but under the new regulations, it must be submitted along with the visa application. The procedure for master’s degree candidates remains unchanged.
While the new requirement may slightly extend the visa process, the VIZJA University is fully prepared to support bachelor’s degree candidates throughout this period. To ensure there are no disruptions to their education, candidates who cannot arrive in Poland before the start of classes will be able to participate in lectures online via MS Teams.
We also have developed a range of effective solutions to provide comprehensive assistance in obtaining the required documents. Our support includes:
- preparing the necessary paperwork
- certified translations into Polish
- submitting the application to the Education Superintendent Office
- promptly ensuring the recognized diploma is sent back to the candidate’s home country.
