MSc Sustainable Engineering: Energy

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSC 1 year full-time, or 2 years full-time with a placement

Course Description

This course is situated in a new and rapidly growing Sustainable Energy sector, addressing the skills shortage required for the Green Industrial Revolution. This course will prepare you for a diverse set or roles and industries in the move to cleaner energy generation, distribution and consumption. Graduates will acquire advanced-level computational skills sought by the wind, hydro and solar power generation industries.

This course is newly developed, current and cutting edge in its approach to addressing existing and emerging Sustainable Energy opportunities. The course provides you with the required theoretical and advanced computational skills to explore the potential and possibilities of Sustainable Energy in a variety of applications to enable a sustainable future. During this course, you will connect and collaborate with aligned industries through live industry and research projects.

What you’ll study

You will be working in groups during lab exercises for some of the modules and also work on individual projects, especially during the individual industrial or engineering research project. You will have the possibility to work on (live) projects during all modules as part of training and formative assessment. Below is an overview of the areas you will cover.

  • Sustainable Energy Technologies, including Solar, Wave, Wind and Geothermal sources of power
  • Advanced computational analysis, modelling and simulation or the efficiency of systems through fluid dynamics
  • Design to Market: ethical concerns, regulatory factors, lifecycle management, end of life destinations
  • Energy Management: electricity generation, distribution, use, storage and consumption
  • Nanotechnologies and materials, future applications, performance enhancement and engineering efficiencies
  • Capstone Individual project conducted with an industry or research partner.

Entry Requirements

  • A UK honours degree (minimum 2:1) or equivalent in a related BEng / BSc discipline such as Engineering, Maths, Physics
  • Applicants with relevant employment experience or other relevant qualifications will also be considered
