Master of Science - Sustainable Energy and Clean Technology (with Advanced Practice)

This MSc covers a number of topics in sustainable energy and clean technology, broadening and deepening students' understanding and knowledge of the field. They'll learn how to synthesize information from a variety of sources and develop their decision-making abilities in solving complex sustainability problems. Working with a supervisor, learners will also conduct a research project in a specific area of sustainable engineering.

The Advanced Practice route enhances academic qualification by adding a vocational or research-based internship to the course. A vocational internship is a great way for students to gain work experience and give their CV a competitive edge. A research internship gives learners the opportunity to develop their analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting.
