Assessment method
This MSc will produce specialists with advanced skills in distinct areas of energy engineering. A very strong emphasis is placed on the practical application of theory. The programme comprises a combination of lectures, practical and design exercises, tutorials, computer-based process simulation and optimisation, and resource-based, problem-based and enquiry-led learning. Semester one comprises core modules that will provide you with a general background knowledge of the energy industry, including economics, policy and impact assessment as well as a technical overview. You will develop competence and confidence in the application of engineering knowledge and techniques to a range of industrial and real-world energy-related problems. You will develop a good theoretical and practical understanding that balances the core fundamentals with the latest industry and research practice. A final project and dissertation will enable you to identify and apply theory and practice to the analysis and solution of complex engineering problems.
