About this course

Master of Engineering in Energy Engineering, a chemical engineering degree centred on sustainable energy systems and thermal engineering. Core topics include Systems Design, Data Analysis, Research Methods, and Project Management. This four-year degree includes a substantial individual research project in the final year. The first year covers foundational topics through Chemistry and Materials, Introduction to Transport Phenomena, Discover: Labs and Data Analysis, and Process Design and Analysis. The second year progresses with Energy Systems, Policy, Markets and Regulation, Process Design Exercise, Sustainable Process Engineering, and Systems Design and Control. The third year builds advanced competence via Design Project, Energy Data and Analytics, Energy Economics, and Business and Project Management. The final year allows students to specialise through options such as Advanced Transport Processes, Research Project, Energy Systems Modelling, Fuel Cell Systems, Modelling, and Control, and Net Zero Energy Systems.
