MSc New and Renewable Energy

at Durham University

Course structure

The course consists of five core modules to provide advanced engineering education in New and Renewable Energy technologies alongside an optional module that allows students to increase their understanding in an area suited to their interests and needs. In addition to these taught modules, you will also complete a group design project and a major, individual research and development project working closely with an academic in your chosen subject area.

Core taught content:
 

• Renewable Energy Technologies

• Future Vehicles

• Electrical Energy Conversion

• Smart Energy Networks

• Decarbonisation of Heating and Cooling

Optional taught content:

Students select one optional module from the following topics:
 

• Internet of Everything

• Optimisation

To be admitted to the MSc programme in New and Renewable Energy, you need the equivalent of a UK Honours degree to at least an upper second class standard. This should normally be in an appropriate Engineering or Engineering-related subject including modules in electrical engineering and/or thermodynamics although in some instances we can consider industrial or other relevant experience if you have a different first degree.
