Masters in Engineering Science (MEngSc) in Sustainable Energy
The 12 months full-time Masters in Engineering Science in Sustainable Energy is open to Engineering graduates of all disciplines. The programme also has a shorter 8 month duration option leading to a Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Energy.
The programme focus is on equipping the students with the information base and skill set to actively participate in the growing global market where
energy/environment policy and technological innovation meet. The students will choose 10 taught modules from a prescribed list and carry out a preliminary research project with the first 8 months. Those who obtain at least 50% in both coursework and research are then eligbile to undertake a minor thesis (4 months- 30 credits) over the summer months, leading to the award of the Masters degree.
