University of Strathclyde's MSc Sustainable Engineering: Renewable Energy Systems & the Environment Details

The program has been running for over 20 years now and has produced more than 400 graduates. During the course, the students work in groups of four or five on a group project that focuses on a particular environment/energy system.

“Each project includes a technical appraisal, and, where appropriate, an assessment of its cost-effectiveness and environmental impact. At the end of the project, students will present to invited guests from the industry during the University’s Knowledge Exchange week. This event provides an important networking opportunity for students,” reads the university statement.

The students will also be working independently on individual projects on an energy topic. It will comprise a more in-depth analysis as compared to the group project.
