Course summary

The energy crisis is forcing the world to secure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Our MSc in Sustainable Energy Systems is a one-year programme that will allow you to contribute to a more sustainable future. The programme is grounded in engineering, but you will be encouraged to consider the societal, economic, environmental and policy aspects of the industry. We place a strong emphasis on energy systems, where electricity is the final product, and you will consider energy in the wider context of consumption patterns, efficiency and regulation. You will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the deployment of renewable energies in grid-connected systems, and will also be able to explore off-grid systems if this is your area of interest. The programme is affiliated with the University's Global Environment & Society Academy, a steering committee that seeks to tackle global environmental challenges through teaching, research and outreach. Our MSc in Sustainable Energy Sytems provides a broad training in, and understanding of, energy systems in the context of sustainability of energy supply. You will participate in lectures, tutorials, and lab sessions, through which you will:

• benefit from the programme’s multidiscipline design, with courses, teaching staff and supervisors drawn from our Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical and Civil engineering disciplines

• acquire in-depth technical knowledge, balanced with practical experience

• actively undertake research

• engage with the Institute for Energy Systems

• access world-class research facilities

• gain opportunities to work with industry
