Reviews on The Centre for Alternative Technology
More information
Description
Studying at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) is a truly unique experience. For the past 40 years CAT has been at the forefront of the environmental movement, pioneering low-carbon living and renewable technology. At the Graduate School of the Environment (GSE), students benefit from our extensive practical and academic knowledge, graduating with the skills needed to become leading players in the sustainability sector.
At CAT, hands-on learning takes place side by side with academic study. Our 40 acre site in mid-Wales is powered by one of the most diverse renewable energy systems anywhere in the world. Lectures and seminars take place in the flagship Wales Institute for Sustainable Education – a low-carbon architectural marvel.
All of our Masters courses offer a practical and flexible approach to education, with students completing modules over one year full-time, or two years part-time. On-site teaching forms one week per module, allowing students to continue working or to spend time with their families. Further tutorials and study are offered through a range of interactive formats. For those keen to take the next step towards becoming a specialist, there is no better place to learn.
