Gain an in-depth understanding of the environmental impact of different energy choices. You’ll be equipped to help address the challenge of increasing demand for energy but limited world resources.
We’re becoming increasingly concerned with our impact on the environment around us. The world has a limited amount of resources and our energy demands are only growing; to address this efforts are being made to change the way we produce and consume energy and dispose of waste.
On this course, you’ll become the next generation of engineers and managers for in-depth understanding of the environmental impact of different energy choices.
The teaching is aimed at graduates and professionals who want to take up a role within energy management or require an advanced knowledge of the subject. You’ll have a thorough understanding of energy engineering and management by combining theoretical aspects of the discipline with hands-on practical experience, ensuring you are well-equipped to enter and succeed in a wide range of career areas.
The programme provides an increased breadth and depth of study with additional emphasis on:
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.
