Teesside University

Program Overview

Staffordshire University offers a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Energy Technologies, a full-time 1-year program committed to fulfilling the global demand for sustainable energy and complicated mechanical systems. The program integrates contemporary mechanical engineering concepts with principles of sustainable energy, empowering graduates with the information to deal with some of the most up-to-date energy challenges. Developed in collaboration with industry partners, the curriculum provides students with both a solid theoretical foundation and practical understanding that is desired in the renewable energy and sustainable technologies sectors.

Curriculum Structure:

The MSc program is a combination of theoretical study and practical application to enable graduates to solve real-world problems. The studies include:

  • Core Engineering Modules: Modules such as Advanced Thermofluids, Renewable Energy Systems, Energy Storage Technologies, and Computational Methods in engineering.

  • Specialist Sustainable Modules: Modules including Sustainable Energy Technology Integration and Low Carbon Building Design.

  • Practical Labs & Workshops: Hands-on experience offered by state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.

  • Final Research Project: Substantial project to solve an energy engineering issue, perhaps conducted in collaboration with industry partners or aligned to personal interest.

Accreditation:

  • This program aligns with UK engineering standards, and its syllabus is based on the requirements of professional engineering institutions. Completion of the course contributes to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status for students who wish to pursue professional registration.

Campus Location:

  • The program is delivered at Staffordshire University's Stoke-on-Trent campus in the UK, a modern, friendly learning environment. The learners are provided with state-of-the-art engineering laboratories, group working spaces, and a close-knit academic community.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

Staffordshire University emphasizes experiential learning and industry engagement through:

  • Live Industry Projects: Students work on real sustainable energy issues faced by industries.

  • Internships and Placements: Despite the one-year course duration, students are encouraged and supported in pursuing optional internships and collaborative projects.

  • Engineering Labs and Simulations: Practical sessions that allow students to apply theoretical principles to actual mechanical systems and renewable energy installations.

  • Conferences and Guest Lectures: Regular contact with energy and engineering practitioners, providing insights and career guidance.

  • Global Perspective: A global student body and international projects foster a broad appreciation of sustainability issues, enriching classroom discussion.

Progression & Future Opportunities

Staffordshire University's Careers and Personal Development team assists students in securing successful careers by:

  • Offering career advice, CV reviewing, and interview techniques.

  • Facilitating access to career fairs and industry networking sessions.

  • Assisting in the creation of a professional LinkedIn profile and the development of one's professional network.

Employability:

  • MSc graduates are well positioned for future careers in roles such as: Mechanical Engineer, Sustainable Energy Consultant, Energy Analyst, Project Engineer, Design and Development Engineer, and Renewable Energy Systems Designer. Graduates have gone on to work in the energy generation, environmental consultancy, construction, automotive, and aerospace industries, and with organisations engaged in green innovation and decarbonisation activities.

Further Academic Progression:

  • Postgraduates may proceed to PhD research or further study in areas like Energy Systems Engineering, Environmental Management, or Sustainability and Innovation, depending on the knowledge and expertise acquired through the MSc course.
