Approved in Principle: This new course is currently seeking University approval. Applications can be submitted, but no formal offer of a place can be made until the course is fully approved.
The primary aim of this programme is to create Master’s degree graduates with qualities and transferable skills ready for demanding employment in the Renewable Energy sector. These graduates will have the independent learning ability required for continuing professional development and acquiring new skills at the highest level.
Specific aims are as follows:
The requirement of UK-SPEC reinforces the need for a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree to take an appropriate postgraduate qualification in order to become a chartered engineer (currently, an accredited Bachelors degree does not enable the graduate to proceed to Chartered Engineer status without additional learning at M level). This MSc program will be compliant with the further learning requirements of UK-SPEC. Accreditation will be sought from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE) and Energy Institute. As a result, it will appeal to recent graduates who have not yet obtained the appropriate qualifications but intend to become Chartered Engineers. Most importantly, it will appeal to Mechanical, Chemical and Building Services Engineering graduates who wish to specialise in energy, or suitably experienced graduates of related subjects such as Physics.
Students require a minimum 2.2 UK honours degree or an equivalent international degree qualification in related engineering disciplines. Students from disciplines that involve a high degree of mathematical competence such a Physics and Mathematics will also be considered.

IELTS: 6 (min 5.5 in all areas)
TOEFL Paper test: 550 (TWE 4)
