Qualification: Master Degree (By Coursework)

Course structure: Year 1 - In your first year this degree covers different aspects of sustainable energy engineering that include understanding the concept of sustainability in energy, energy efficiency and learning about a wide range of renewable energy technologies. There are opportunities for group work, collaborative sessions and laboratory activities throughout these subjects. Year 2 - Your second year comprises a research project and a range of electives to broaden new skills in different areas of your interest. Note: You cannot complete Year 2 degree electives previously completed in Year 1. Undertaking the Sustainable Energy Fundamentals elective is highly recommended if you are coming from a background with minimum exposure to topics such as thermodynamics, chemistry of energy, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and electrical power systems.

Graduates are employed in local and international industries. They work on sustainable energy projects as energy managers, project managers and consultants.
