Course summary

This course is ideal for those looking to develop green industries, supporting climate change agendas at regional, national and international levels. You cover a number of topics in sustainability, broadening and deepening your understanding and knowledge of the field. You learn how to synthesise information from a variety of sources and develop your decision-making abilities in solving complex sustainability problems. Working with a supervisor, you also conduct a research project in a specific area of sustainable engineering. Here at Teesside University, we undertake varied research in sustainability and are involved in several regional strategic projects, and we are spearheading an ongoing drive for clean energy and sustainability though our Net Zero Innovation Hub. Part of this includes a Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre, an innovative £13.1m facility and key component of Tees Valley Combined Authority's regional innovation strategy, which will position Teesside firmly at the heart of the UK's green industrial revolution. We are based in the Tees Valley, a hub of the green energy industry, housing bioethanol, hydrogen and offshore wind farms. The region is also a centre for investment in carbon capture and storage, and industrial decarbonisation.
