Summary
The energy crisis is forcing the world to secure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Our MSc programme in Sustainable Energy Systems will equip you to contribute to a more sustainable future.
The programme is grounded in engineering, but you will be encouraged to consider the societal, economic, environmental and policy aspects of the industry.

You will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the deployment of renewable energies in grid-connected systems, and will also be able to explore off-grid systems if this is your area of interest.
