Introduction:
This course is situated in a new and rapidly growing Sustainable Energy sector, addressing the skills shortage required for the Green Industrial Revolution. This course will prepare you for diverse roles and industries moving to cleaner energy generation, distribution and consumption. Graduates will acquire advanced-level computational skills sought by the wind, hydro and solar power generation industries.
This course is newly developed, current and cutting-edge in addressing existing and emerging Sustainable Energy opportunities. The course provides the required theoretical and advanced computational skills to explore the potential and possibilities of Sustainable Energy in various applications to enable a sustainable future. You will connect and collaborate with aligned industries during this course through live industry and research projects.
This course benefits from a strong body of staff expertise and research in the area, particularly in advanced computer modelling, simulation and analysis, nanotechnology, and advanced materials.
We are seeking accreditation from the IET for this course.
- Top 20 in the UK for General Engineering (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023)
- In the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) - the UK's system for assessing the quality and impact of research in universities - we’re proud that 98% of NTU's Engineering submission was assessed to be world-leading or internationally excellent.
What you’ll study
You will work in groups during lab exercises for some of the modules and on individual projects, especially during the individual industrial or engineering research project. You can work on (live) projects during all modules as part of training and formative assessment. Below is an overview of the areas you will cover.
- Sustainable Energy Technologies, including Solar, Wave, Wind and Geothermal power sources.
- Advanced computational analysis, modelling and simulation, or systems' efficiency through fluid dynamics.
- Design to Market: ethical concerns, regulatory factors, lifecycle management, end-of-life destinations.
- Energy Management: electricity generation, distribution, use, storage and consumption
- Nanotechnologies and materials, future applications, performance enhancement and engineering efficiencies.
- Capstone Individual project conducted with an industry or research partner.
- Sustainable Energy Technologies and Innovation
- Design to Market
- Introduction to Nanotechnology
- Sustainable Energy Management
- Environmental and Industrial Fluid Dynamics
- Research Methods
- Individual Industrial or Research Project
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
