Special Features

Interacting with students from different specialisms and with different interests is an important part of the University experience. To help with this, we have introduced a multidisciplinary project for Level 1 students. This is a design-based competition between teams made up of students from a number of subjects.

Facts and Figures

  • The UK Climate Change Act 2008 includes legally binding targets for the UK to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 80% by 2050. Internationally the Kyoto Protocol has imposed similar conditions on signatory states. Methods of energy generation, sources of energy consumption, amount of energy demand and how it is delivered are understood to have a strong bearing on GHG emissions.
  • Worldwide more efficient conventional power plants (including carbon capture and storage), nuclear, non-conventional fossils and renewables are being considered as viable generation alternatives. Private and public sectors are gearing up to meet this challenge with new, cleaner conventional power plants are b
