Program Overview
The MSc in Sustainable Engineering from the University of Bristol equips graduates with theoretical and practical knowledge in sustainable engineering. Specializing in either civil engineering & the built environment, renewable energy, or product development & advanced manufacturing, students engage in group research dissertations, mirroring real-life collaboration. Upon completion, graduates are prepared for careers as engineers or sustainability professionals in a variety of industries.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The MSc in Sustainable Engineering is a one-year taught program designed for graduates seeking to deepen their knowledge in sustainable engineering. The program culminates in a supervised, research-based dissertation. The program aims to equip students with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to create and maintain a more sustainable world within their chosen engineering field. It combines foundational knowledge and skills in sustainable engineering with specialization in one of three pathways:
- MSc Sustainable Engineering: Civil Engineering and the Built Environment
- MSc Sustainable Engineering: Renewable Energy
- MSc Sustainable Engineering: Product Development and Advanced Manufacturing A unique feature of the program is that dissertations are researched and written in groups, with each student making their own contribution. This approach reflects real-life engineering, where engineers collaborate with colleagues from different backgrounds.
Outline:
The program's four core units focus on developing skills and knowledge in sustainable engineering and provide a foundation for the research-based dissertation project:
- Sustainable Design: Focuses on delivering real and impactful sustainable solutions, including design tools for sustainable decision-making.
- Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Enterprise: Prepares students for the supervised group dissertation project.
- Research Skills: Further prepares students for the supervised group dissertation project.
Careers:
