Sustainable Technology and Energy MSc

The MSc Sustainable Technology and Energy programme develops advanced knowledge and practical skills in sustainable energy systems, preparing you to address global challenges such as climate change and the transition to Net Zero. It combines engineering principles with sustainability concepts, focusing on how energy is generated, managed, stored, and applied across modern industries.

At the taught stage, you study core modules covering advanced heat transfer, energy recovery, sustainable energy sources, and sustainability principles. These modules provide a strong technical foundation in understanding energy systems and their environmental impact. You can tailor your studies through optional modules in areas such as process sustainability, safety, research methods, and stakeholder management, allowing you to align your learning with specific career goals.

The programme emphasises real-world application through practical classes, case studies, and industry-informed teaching, helping you develop problem-solving and analytical skills relevant to the energy sector. You will gain an understanding of zero-carbon technologies, energy policy, and the economic aspects of sustainability.

The course concludes with a master’s dissertation, where you conduct in-depth research on a sustainable energy topic. Assessment includes coursework, presentations, and design-based problem-solving tasks, ensuring a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
