MSc Sustainable Energy Technologies

Year 1

The first eight months are normally spent mainly on the taught component, with lectures divided into two 12-week periods (semesters 1 and 2), and with exams at the end of each semester. The final four months are spent full-time on a research project, for which some preparation is done in semester 2. You are encouraged to commence project work before the semester two exams to allow yourself maximum time, especially where practical work is involved. Note however you must pass the taught part of the MSc before formally progressing to the project.

Semester One

You take modules worth 60 credit points in semester 1, consisting of four compulsory modules. Modules are taught via whole-class lectures (typically a double and a single lecture per week), laboratories and tutorials. SESG6041, Introduction to Energy Technologies, Environment and Sustainability is run intensively in the first few weeks of semester 1 to bring all students to a common level of understanding of the field.
