-Sustainable Energy: Technologies & Management MSc
Energy management using sustainable technologies and implementation of environmental initiatives plays a rapidly increasing role in many public organisations and industry. There is an urgent need for trained personnel to advise, implement and deliver strategies and management for sustainable practices.
Course Details
Links with industry will be a key part of the programme in the form of guest speakers from various industry sectors. Students will develop themes of expertise facilitated by an MSc project and dissertation, which also provides a useful introduction to students thinking of embarking on a doctoral research degree.
Modules (all core)
Energy Conversion Technologies
Sustainable Built Environment
