The one-year Sustainable Energy Technologies masters course offers engineering, science and mathematics graduates an academically challenging introduction to current and modern energy technologies for sustainable power generation.
Sustainable energy technologies need to meet a range of criteria across economic, social and environmental metrics. The first semester will focus on giving you a detailed overview of sustainable energy systems, resources and usage. You will learn to design and assess the performance of fuel cells and photovoltaic systems, wind power and hybrid propulsion systems. You will also understand thermo-fluid engineering processes for low carbon energy.
In the second semester, you will look at further renewable technologies and have the option to undertake a range of specialist modules, from Waste Resource Management to Bioenergy. In the last four months, you will put your new found knowledge into practice. Under the guidance of world-class experts in this field, you will develop your practical skills as you complete a research project.
enable you to acquire advanced knowledge and practical skills needed for a professional career in the energy industry, renewable energy industry, local and national governments setting energy and environmental strategies, research and development in energy technologies and investment houses targeting the energy sector.
provide you with a sound understanding of the fundamental principles, operation requirements, design criteria and engineering applications of sustainable energy systems such as photovoltaic devices, wind power, hydropower, nuclear power, fuel cells and hybrid propulsion systems.
enable you to gain appreciation of the social, economic, environmental and policy implications of energy technologies.
Enable you to apply the principles of energy conservation and sustainable development to energy systems.
provide you with a range of transferable skills, including critical analysis, problem solving, project management, decision-making, leadership and communication by oral, visual and/or written means.
equip you with specialist knowledge, technical expertise and research skills for further research in energy systems and technologies.
Accredited as a Technical MSc, by the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
Southampton is located on the South coast of England, close to the New Forest and the Isle of Wight. Just over one hour by train from London. The main campus is bordered by the beautiful Southampton Common - over 300 acres of managed woodland - creating the perfect combination of a thriving natural environment and a bustling, cosmopolitan city. One of the UK's top 10 retail destinations, a busy port and sailing centre, and one of the safest places to live in the UK, Southampton is a city that looks to the future with expectation and ambition. Excellent road, rail, sea and air links to the area enables students to travel extensively and always be flexible about transportation. Southampton Airport is located nearby, which is also beneficial for the international students. Moreover, especially for their students, University-owned bus service provides transport across the city.
