Course content
The next generation of engineers will need the skills to design and build sustainable engineering systems and facilities, develop green policies and analyse the carbon footprints of manmade structures. You will learn how to develop innovative ideas to confront climate change through sustainable models of growth. We focus on using real world data sets to tackle grand challenges in engineering design across materials, built environment and sustainable energy usage.
Optional modules enable you to shape your career by taking an interdisciplinary approach. You can choose relevant modules from Water Engineering and the Centre for Smart Grid as well as Mathematics, Management and Geography. This holistic approach supports your understanding of how sustainable engineering and technology solutions can address sustainability challenges such as the depletion of resources, environmental pollution, rapid population growth, and damage to ecosystems.
The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

*Selected programmes only. Please see the Terms and Conditions for each scheme for further details.
Teaching and research
The programme is delivered through a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, industrial presentations, case studies, industry visits, computer simulations, project work and a dissertation.
You will develop transferable skills such as management and communication skills, computational techniques, data handling and analysis, problem solving, decision making and research methodology. Many of these will be addressed within an industrial and commercial context.
Personal tutor
You will be allocated a Personal Tutor who is available for advice and support throughout your studies, along with support and mentoring from graduates who are now in industry. There is also a Postgraduate Tutor available to help with further guidance and advice.
A research and practice-led culture
We believe every student benefits from being taught by experts active in research and practice. You will discuss the very latest ideas, research discoveries and new technologies in seminars as well as in the field. Plus, you’ll become actively involved in a research project yourself.
All our academic staff are active in internationally-recognised scientific research across a wide range of topics. You will also be taught by leading industry practitioners.
Maths support
Throughout your studies you will have access to support materials designed to refresh your knowledge of engineering mathematics. Mathematics for Engineers is a non-credit bearing online resource that covers the mathematics needed to undertake an MSc. It is an invaluable revision tool for those wishing to refresh their knowledge of common mathematical topics.
Sample mathematics test
Unsure whether your maths is good enough for an MSc? Take the short test below to find out. This has been developed in conjunction with the Mathematics for Engineers module and covers many of the topics listed above.
Dr Akrami’s research interests centre around multidisciplinary engineering projects, analysing data and providing engineering solutions through novel innovations and products, mainly to tackle climate change.
He was engaged in several climate Engineering studies for developing sustainable solutions for smart cities, and structures, to minimise the carbon footprint of the industries and households. This includes engineering interventions with Energy-Food-Water-Environment-Equity and Public health modelling, which are all affected by the climate change, and require engineering solutions to make positive changes happen.
