Why this course?

Our MSc Renewable Energy & Decarbonisation Technologies course aims to provide students with detailed knowledge of the technology required to ensure future energy transition in industry. It will give both a theoretical and practical grounding for future managers and engineers of energy-based projects. Where possible, the final individual project is carried out in industry, providing an opportunity for personal research and giving a deeper insight into particular energy transition future.

This programme will provide a solid basis for future engineers entering the energy transition industries. It will focus on the challenging problems related to industry decarbonisation, state-of-the-art technologies and future technologies that will support this process on a significant scale.

Renewable Energy & Decarbonisation Technologies will provide an opportunity for graduate engineers to develop advanced skills and knowledge in this vital area. The programme aims to equip graduates with the required skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to find employment in the energy sectors, or to undertake research in a specialised energy, decarbonisation-related field.

In addition to developing transferrable skills and preparing graduates for wide-range employment opportunities, the programme will develop critical and analytical problem-solving skills in several specialist areas dealing with the specification, design, investigation, operation and maintenance of future power networks, and sustainable energy systems infrastructure.
