Student Destinations

Renewable energy is set to expand even further as the UK aims to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Renewable energy also has a particularly important role to play in providing crucial services in developing countries to tackle poverty and support sustainable economic growth.

A global skills shortage continues to ensure engineers remain among the most in-demand professions and Engineering UK predicts 186,000 people with engineering skills will be needed annually through to 2024 to meet demand.

There are many wide-ranging engineering jobs that have requirements for skills in energy systems and sustainability. Graduates may seek positions with energy technology manufacturers and operators, some may start their own companies, others could become energy consultants, and many could go into more traditional aerospace, mechanical and automotive engineering jobs.

Module Details

With work placement pathway

The ‘With work placement’ opportunity enables you to apply in semester 1 for an optional work placement of up to 12 months, extending the duration of your master’s to 24 months. The placement provides an opportunity for you to develop expertise and experience in your chosen field with the aim of enhancing your employability upon graduation.
