Prepare for an engineering career in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables.Join the first online energy transition degree of its kind in the UK. Learn how we can integrate Low Carbon Technologies (LCTs) into current and future energy systems. You can also study this degree full-time on campus.Energy transitions require technical, economic and social solutions to the complex challenges of decarbonisation.This new online MSc in Energy Transition will give you an overview of these diverse challenges.You’ll gain in-depth technical knowledge of LCTs, including:windtidalsolarhydrogenand biomass.And you’ll also study the non-technical aspects all engineers in this field need to address, covering the economics and politics of the energy transition.You’ll take a systems-thinking approach to energy transition, to understand complex, interconnected, and increasingly digitalised energy systems.You’ll train in a range of relevant methods for system-level analysis, including Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Energy System Analysis (ESA). And you’ll learn to use technical, economic and environmental analysis tools to assess and compare different technologies.Who can study online MSc Energy TransitionThis distance-learning degree is open to BSc and BEng engineering graduates, as well as graduates of other related disciplines in the physical sciences, natural sciences and mathematics.You can study online with us anywhere in the world, with no need for a visa.What you’ll studyYou can choose to study for a:Masters (180 credits)exit early with a Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits)exit early with a Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits)or start with one of the short courses that make up this degree. You can build your way to a qualification one short course at a time.AssessmentThis degree usually combines online assessment with written exams that you attend in person.However, due to Covid-19, in-person exams will not take place until the September 2022 term at the earliest. Until then, we’ll be using alternative online assessments.CareersMSc Energy Transition Systems and Technologies will?prepare you to find work in a range of energy-related sectors, including roles with:energy service providersenergy technology manufacturersinfrastructure (gas, heat, power) operatorsutilitiesaggregatorspublic sector organisations, including local and national government, and ministriesor in academia.
