Course summary

The course’s pioneering approach is rooted in its collaboration with four other departments within the university - mechanical and aerospace engineering, civil engineering, environmental science and social and political sciences - giving you a holistic view of low carbon technology and the issues that surround it. You will be taught by a team of world-leading academics with extensive experience and diverse backgrounds in low carbon technologies, who deliver research-informed teaching across topics such as hydrogen production, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), biorefineries and fuel cells. You will benefit from the programme’s blended approach to teaching, which includes interactive modes, traditional lectures and tutorial-style learning, along with an active learning approach through extensive discussion. A clear benefit of the programme’s interdisciplinary approach is that while you acquire the ground-breaking science expertise you’ll also have the opportunity to select employability-boosting modules, focusing for example on project management, environmental legislation and climate politics. The compulsory modules will give you industry-relevant problem solving and transferable skills through holistic assessments, including assignments, written exams, oral presentations, and report writing. Brunel is recognised for its sector-leading chemical engineering facilities on campus, from where you will undertake practical project work comprising both computational modelling and laboratory experiments. This will not only enhance your employability on graduation but also offer you a unique and exciting perspective on a range of modern technologies, and their potential to achieve sustainable resource management with minimal environmental impact. This MSc programme has been developed to address the skills gap in the workforce needed to decarbonise industries in response to the growing energy demand and to achieve the net-zero target. Our MSc graduates will possess a comprehensive understanding of emerging low-carbon technologies and interdisciplinary knowledge in environmental sustainability, climate change politics, and project management. Equipped with these skills, they will be able to tackle global challenges such as meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals and addressing climate change. Graduates will be proficient in sustainable industrial system design, enabling them to take up vital technical, managerial, and advisory roles in engineering and consultancy firms, think tanks, and governmental organisations. They will play a key role in industrial decarbonisation, facilitating the transition from a fossil-based economy to a cleaner economy across sectors including energy, transportation, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, waste management and recycling, among others.
