Msc sustainable energy engineering (conversion programme) engineering

Overview
This programme aims to prepare students with science backgrounds to develop unique expertise in the fundamentals of energy and the environment, their applications for the benefit of humankind, and the ability to stay abreast of the field of sustainable energy engineering.
The programme structure is designed to appeal to students with sciences or mathematics backgrounds, and is modular in format. The content of the programme includes a compulsory Engineering Methods module in the first semester, which aims to introduce and develop engineering techniques for students with varied backgrounds. Other than these modules students will be taking specialist energy engineering modules that are being developed for the MSc. This will bolster our current offering, but will also allow these students to become specialists in their field.
A 60 credit research project is to be undertaken using our research activities and our state of the art facilities. Several high performance computing clusters owned by the university support a full spectrum of computational research. Our well equipped laboratories include a wide range of IC engines, heat transfer facilities, wind tunnels, an anechoic chamber, a UK CueSim Flight Simulator and France-Price Induction Jet engine test bench, and energy materials synthesis and characterisation labs. support Systems, Aerodynamics and Propulsion research. Nanotechnology research is further supported by the facilities and expertise provided by Nanoforce, a company directly associated with the School.
