In response to China’s dual-carbon strategy and global energy transition, Xiamen University launches the Micro-Major in Energy Storage Science and Engineering. Leveraging its strengths in energy, materials and electrical engineering, and partnering with leading enterprises including CATL and Xiamen Kehua Digital Energy Tech Co., Ltd, the program builds an interdisciplinary platform for industry-education integrated talent cultivation. It is open to all XMU undergraduates, excluding students majoring in Energy Storage Science and Engineering.

Highlights

1. Full-industry-chain Curriculum

The program offers 8 core courses (15 credits), covering key fields such as photovoltaic-energy storage principles and technologies, battery technology, photovoltaic-energy storage system integration and intelligent design, smart microgrid and virtual power plant technology, operation, maintenance and digital management of photovoltaic-energy storage power stations, power market and carbon asset operation, development and business model design of photovoltaic-energy storage projects. Integrated with internships and frontier lectures, the curriculum balances solid theories and industrial practicality.

2. In-depth Industry-Education Integration

Supported by on-campus innovation platforms and off-campus internship bases co-built with top enterprises, the project-focused program allows students to conduct rotational internships, applying professional knowledge and accessing cutting-edge industrial technologies.
