Master of Applied Science in Sustainable Energy

The Master of Applied Science (MAppSc) is a 180-point, coursework postgraduate degree. A candidate would normally be a graduate but the degree is also open to those with other relevant qualifications.
The MAppSc is designed for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary programme of study underpinned by science that delivers versatile skills relevant to multiple end-users. Optional paths are available that emphasise commercialisation, workplace-based projects or independent study.
Cutting carbon emissions from fossil fuels is crucial if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change. The world needs cleaner, more sustainable ways to generate power and this programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills to drive change.
You’ll delve into the science behind renewable energy, energy efficiency and carbon reduction. You’ll gain a deep understanding of a range of renewable and non-renewable energy resources and develop the key skills required for energy analysis in industrial and commercial settings.
We cover a variety of sustainable energy topics in our courses, meaning you could dive into projects as diverse as energy-efficient housing, heat pump technology, generating energy from waste, identifying energy saving opportunities on campus, designing renewable energy installations, and assessing the potential for solar energy in university flats.
