Course Overview
The Master of Sustainable Energy Systems programme is designed to provide contemporary education in the field of energy by emphasising sustainability in the energy resource assessment, exploitation, development, delivery and applications. To ensure sustainability this programme will focus on economically and environmentally friendly technologies and systems while placing a strong emphasis on the energy engineering tasks with due consideration of technical, environmental and socio-economic issues. In the same vein, the programme expose students to advanced methods required to identify, quantify and find solutions to a diverse range of energy problems. Students will gain proficiency in sustainable and renewable energy project design, implementation, operation and maintenance, as well as in crucial phases of policy generation. The programme is structured to facilitate specialisation in the areas of Energy Technologies and Energy Management. Students will also be equipped with skills to work and study independently, synthesise knowledge at the forefront of Sustainable Energy, and conduct research using the scientific method. The programme is purposefully designed to create a fertile niche area where applied research in sustainable energy systems and technologies can be enhanced in the future. Thus, the programme will be a combination of coursework and a master thesis.
