Aims of the Programme

Graduates from this programme will be able to make an immediate contribution to the renewable energy sector and make informed decisions that will have an impact on the development of national programmes to meet future targets. Each graduate will have a firm grasp of the predominant and emerging technologies, and will be able to set these in context using a range of environmental monitoring techniques.

Programme Content

Modules cover environmental physics, law and policy, renewable energy technologies, environmental monitoring, and the hydrogen economy. The taught element will be delivered using a lively mix of lectures, seminars, peer-based problem-solving, practical sessions and site visits.

The MSc provided a good base to research renewable technologies and understand how they fit into the energy mix and government policy. After graduate, I am now employed as Chief Technical Officer at Scottish Renewables.

Methods of Assessment

Students are assessed on written and practical work, formal presentations and a project dissertation.
