M.Sc. / P.Grad.Dip in Energy Science

The M.Sc. in Energy Science is a one-year taught Masters programme, jointly run by the Schools of Chemistry, Natural Sciences, Physics and Engineering. The aim is to provide students with a broad knowledge and experience of both the science and application of conventional and sustainable energy technologies.The syllabus covers many topics, including energy economics and policy; natural resource management; fossil and nuclear energy; conventional energy conversion devices; sustainable energy technologies; power systems, power electronics and electrical systems; and the environmental impact of energy usage.From the fundamental scientific principles to the challenges of application, each topic is presented using the combined expertise of our multidisciplinary teaching staff.

This M.Sc. programme is suitable for graduates who have achieved an upper second-class (2.1) Honours degree or the international equivalent in either Physical Sciences or Engineering. However, applications from similarly qualified candidates from other disciplines are welcome if they can demonstrate a sufficient level of knowledge or interest in Energy Science.
