Programme Description
UCC have developed a Masters in Engineering Science in Sustainable Energy, in recognition of the growing international market for sustainable energy systems and the shortage of qualified engineers. This programme is open to Engineering graduates of all disciplines with an 8 month programme option leading to a Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Energy.
The course is one year (12 months) full-time and two years part-time.
The part-time course spreads the full-time programme over two years, rather than operating as a separate programme with lectures at weekends and evenings. In terms of lecturing contact time (excluding study and research time), this amounts to 15 hours per week between the end September and April for the full-time option and 6 to 9 hours per week for the part-time option.
To accommodate part-time students we've concentrated the lecturing into Mondays and Fridays as much as possible, to facilitate part-time students to take just one day off a week from work to attend (Mondays one year and Fridays the next or vice versa).

Course Content
The focus in this programme is on equipping the students with the information base and skill set to actively participate in this growing global market where energy/environment policy and technological innovation meet. The students will choose 10 taught modules (of the 11 shown in the table) and carry out a preliminary research project within the first 8 months from October. Those who obtain at least 60% in both coursework and research are then eligible to undertake a minor thesis (4 months) over the summer, leading to the award of the Masters degree.
Modules include:
* Sustainable Energy
* Energy in Buildings
* Wind Energy
* Biomass Energy
* Solar and Geothermal Energy
* Electro-technology and Control
* Energy Systems in Buildings
* Renewable Energy Integration
* Hydro and Ocean Energy
* Energy Systems Modelling
* Environmental Impacts, Economics and Project Financing
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
