This programme addresses all the key aspects of sustainable energy, from the most advanced technologies through to ethical and economic considerations. WHY THIS PROGRAMME
- This programme provides an in-depth knowledge of the social and economic drivers of the current UK and international energy industry, and insights in the behavioural, business and technical aspects concerned with energy production and distribution.
- Students will learn a range of technical knowledge in the science and engineering of energy production and use, with emphases towards chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering, dependent on the students’ preferences and past experience.
- Students will graduate from this programme with a complete scientific knowledge and appreciation of the relevance of traditional and emerging energy technologies.
- Learning will be underpinned with regular industrial lectures and commentary so that the context is maintained and highlighted throughout the year.
