The M.Sc. in Energy Science is a one-year taught Masters programme, jointly run by the Schools of Chemistry, Natural Sciences, Physics and Engineering. The aim is to provide students with a broad knowledge and experience of both the science and application of conventional and sustainable energy technologies. The syllabus covers many topics, including energy economics and policy; natural resource management; fossil and nuclear energy; conventional energy conversion devices; sustainable energy technologies; power systems, power electronics and electrical systems; and the environmental impact of energy usage. From the fundamental scientific principles to the challenges of application, each topic is presented using the combined expertise of our multidisciplinary teaching staff. Is This Course For Me? Determining how energy is utilised and the environmental consequences of its use can determine many government policies across the globe. Those interested in pursuing a career in the energy sector therefore require a deep understanding of the scientific and engineering theory and challenges relevant to the area. This knowledge is particularly important for those interested in communicating or managing the environment’s impact of the world’s energy use e.g. through climate change.
