Course summary
Why choose this course
Our cross-disciplinary MSc programme in Sustainable Energy provides you with broad-ranging training and the fundamentals for understanding sustainable and renewable energy systems and applications, as well as the social, economic, regulatory and environmental factors that govern sustainable energy. It will enable you to gain the skills needed to become a specialist in this crucial and rapidly expanding industry.
Study on this interdisciplinary course and you will learn the key concepts of sustainability and renewables with a range of theoretical and practical modules taught by world-leading academics who are experts in their fields and have access to a wide range of exceptional facilities and resources.
What you will study
This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the sector, enabling you to gain an excellent broad overview of energy sustainability and renewables whilst also giving you opportunities to specialise in particular aspects such as wind, solar, sustainable energy storage, and smart energy and the AI applications.
You'll begin by exploring the core principles in sustainable/net-zero energy systems and applications.
Project and laboratory components will then enable you to gain practical, technical and transferable skills. Elements of leadership and change management will also be embedded throughout group project work.
You will actively engage in the research aspects of the programme as part of your dissertation projects. For this, you'll be integrated into one of our research teams, based on the choice of topic you're interested in within a range of energy-systems-related projects and closely supervised by one of our expert research staff. The research projects will be conducted across highly relevant and multidisciplinary themes within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, with some contributions from the other institutes, research centres, and faculties at Surrey.
