We’ll build on your existing expertise to give you a sound knowledge of the principles behind existing sustainable energy systems, including wind and solar energy, biofuels and energy storage technologies. You’ll also gain the skills to design and develop new technologies.

The course takes an interdisciplinary approach: you’ll gain skills in engineering and materials research, as well as economic and management insights into energy policy developments. This will give you an enviably broad understanding of the subject – and a wide range of specialist skills to boost your career.

You’ll be integrated into one of our research teams to work on an energy systems-related project, supervised by one of our research staff. You’ll have access to our excellent facilities, enabling you to conduct cutting-edge research.

Accreditation

Our Sustainable Energy Systems MSc has been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

The accredited MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.

Graduates from an accredited MSc programme who do not also have an appropriately accredited bachelor's degree will need to have their qualifications individually assessed through the accrediting body's Individual Case Procedure if they wish to acquire CEng status.
