Postgraduate Taught Degrees

This degree follows the same programme as its full time equivalent but is spread over two years.

Course Organiser:Dr. Lawrence Coates

• A Unique Partnership with Industry
  Our degree programmes have been set up in close collaboration with the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR). The Skills for Energy sub-group of EEGR provides energy engineering students with industry-driven case studies, site visits, on-site lectures, breakfast meetings and sponsored equipment.
• Teaching Excellence
  The quality of teaching within all Schools in the Faculty of Science was rated very highly in recent external assessment exercises, and is reflected in our consistently high National Student Survey results. We continuously listen to feedback from students about how to improve our courses.
• Research Quality
  The Faculty of Sciences already has an excellent reputation for conducting world-class interdisciplinary research. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), all of our science departments were rated as having world-leading research and over 93 per cent of the research outputs were assessed as being of international quality.
• Experienced, Expert Staff
  Our energy engineering students are taught by experienced staff who are experts in their field, including; Dr Lawrence Coates – Programme Director, Prof Alexander Korobkin – Wave Energy, Prof Paul Rijks – Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor, Dr Congxiao Shang – Hydrogen and Energy, Dr Ben Milner – Electrical Power Transmission, Prof Stephen Cox – Electricity, Dr Jane Powell - Sustainable Management of Waste and Energy Resources and Dr Margaret Wexler – Biofuels.

Disclaimer

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave. Where this is the case, the University will endeavour to inform students.
