📖Program Curriculum
The MSc in Smart Energy Management is aimed at developing an advanced knowledge of the underlying principles and concepts of smart grids enabling technologies of smart energy such as the Internet of Things (IoT) Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) as well as cross-disciplinary issues such as sustainability.
With a September start date this course is studied full-time over one year. During the first part of the programme you will study seven core taught modules (105 credits) over the first two semesters. Modules in the first semester concentrate on the technological aspects of the course while the second semester modules expand this knowledge into sustainability and strategy management by covering topics including environmental sustainability research skills and information management.
In the first semester you will also pick one optional module from a choice of two – focused on either data science of software development – depending on your interests or career aspirations.
The second part of the programme gives you freedom to choose between either a ‘traditional’ formal academic project supervised by an academic expert from the School or opt for an industry placement including the option to apply for a number of paid placement opportunities as they arise. You’ll be able to discuss with your academic supervisor which type of project or placement is most suitable based on your performance during the taught modules. Both options will enable you to put in to practice and apply the skills and knowledge learned throughout the course.
To achieve the MSc you must complete 180 credits. There are two interim awards available depending on how many modules have been successfully completed: a Postgraduate Certificate for any two modules (60 credits); and a Postgraduate Diploma for all four taught modules (120 credits).
