Climate change is possibly the most significant threat that humanity has faced in its history. A massive global effort will be required to find sustainable solutions to future energy needs, that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from current levels. A new generation of scientists, engineers and policy-makers will need to be equipped with skills to enable them to make informed decisions on all aspects of this important and rapidly developing subject. Our Masters degree in Renewable Energy and Environmental Modelling is designed to produce graduates with a broad and balanced skills base, within a degree of real depth and a sound contextual basis. Graduates from the degree should be able to make an immediate contribution to the renewable energy sector.
The course comprises six distinctive modules, taught mostly in conference-style in one-week intensive bursts, and a project either in industry or based on campus. The taught modules are also open to professionals as continuing professional development (CPD) courses, or as part of a degree or diploma degree. Subject areas include physical principles, comparative and emerging technologies, the hydrogen economy, environmental modeling, and relevant aspects of law and economic policies. Field trips and external conferences are included as part of their coursework. The Dundee MSc is intended to interact with the renewables industry on many levels, enabling frequent networking opportunities for students during tie year. The conference-style modules also allow delegates from industry to attend and enhance their skills in an informal and friendly setting.
This one year degree has been tailored to appeal to graduates with first degrees in the physical sciences, engineering, environmental science and related subjects. However, all applications will be assessed on their merits, regardless of background, and any relevant experience will also be taken into consideration.
