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.

Quantum mechanics is the theory that explains the behavior of the microscopic world such as atoms and photons. Over the last 100 years, this theory has been remarkably successful in describing the world at microscopic scales. It is now well-accepted that being able to control quantum systems allows us to exploit many physical properties, such as superposition.

The degree in Environmental Sciences, the first of its kind in Ireland, has an established pedigree, attracting students with diverse academic backgrounds from Ireland and abroad. It comprises a series of taught modules encompassing a variety of current environmental themes, followed by a five-month research project.

The CHARM-EU Masters in Global Challenges for Sustainability offers a unique international learning opportunity. CHARM-EU students will have the chance to address the pressing need for sustainability in a transdisciplinary and challenge-based environment.
