MSc in Sustainable Energy

The MSc in Sustainable Energy is designed to provide

engineers, and other suitably qualified graduates, with
a specialist understanding of energy management,
energy efficiency and sustainable energy generation.
The course will advance your knowledge in efficiency
techniques, sustainable energy technologies and
energy management systems and strategies. It also
includes theory and practice, along with economics,
management, current legal requirements and
standards.
Students take lectures from experts in a variety of
sustainable energy subjects and carry out cutting edge
research on topics of relevance to this field. The areas
of Sustainable Energy Engineering covered during the
course include:
Energy Efficiency | Solar Energy | Wind Energy
Ocean energy and Hydropower | Energy Demand
(Buildings/Transport/Industry) | Energy in Buildings
Energy Management | Energy from Waste | Energy
Legislation and Environment | Renewable Heat

THE ADVANTAGES OF STUDYING

ENGINEERING IN TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN
Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin
(Trinity) is ranked in the Top 100 Universities in
the world and is the highest ranked University in
Ireland
Trinity School of Engineering continuously
benchmarks itself against the top international
engineering schools
Outstanding teaching by engineers who are at the
forefront of their field worldwide
The course was nominated as the Best New Course
by Postgrad Ireland in 2013 and Best Engineering
Course in 2015
Trinity offers full-time (1 year) and part-time (over 2
or 3 years) courses in our range of Civil Engineering
specialisms. So it is possible to work full-time and
do the course as a part-time option, in fact about
half of our students are registered as part-time
students
The degree programme is divided into three parts:
two semesters of taught courses with an average
of 12 lectures per week and a major dissertation
undertaken during the second half of the course
Excellent career prospects in Ireland and abroad
