This is a one-year postgraduate course designed to develop a student’s understanding of current and emerging sustainable energy technologies and to consider their impact on the environment. The programme will give candidates with the knowledge to make informed decisions around energy security through effective management of energy systems and identifying the best fit for different energy technologies across different sectors. In parallel, students will develop the critical skills to interpret environmental data, make informed decisions based on risk and impact assessments, and have the capacity to develop mitigation solutions to support environmental protection. The course will address both theory and practice, introducing technical aspects of energy and environmental systems, whilst addressing the economic, social and governance considerations.
