Introduction
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.
Ideal Students
Determining how energy is utilized 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 on the world’s energy use e.g. through climate change.
Admissions
Scholarships and Funding
The Energy Science team is delighted to offer several partial scholarships to non-EU students undertaking the MSc Energy Science degree in the academic year 2023/24. These scholarships are aimed to support and develop outstanding postgraduate students and will be awarded to candidates who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement, extracurricular accomplishments, or contribution to society.
Eligibility
The scholarships are available to new non-EU entrants to MSc in Energy Science programme, for admission in September 2023. Applicants must hold a conditional or unconditional offer and complete the application process upon receipt of the offer and no later than 31st May 2023. All candidates will receive a communication about the outcome of their application shortly after this deadline. Applicants are also strongly advised to apply for all other funding and grants open to them, especially those offered by the Global Office and the E3 Institute as outlined below.
