The MSc in Sustainable Energy Systems is a one‑year, engineering‑grounded programme focusing on whole energy systems where electricity is the final product, set in the wider context of sustainability, consumption patterns, efficiency and regulation. Students gain comprehensive knowledge of renewable energy deployment for grid‑connected systems, with opportunities to study off‑grid systems, and are encouraged to integrate societal, economic, environmental and policy perspectives. Teaching spans mechanical, electrical, chemical and civil engineering, with research engagement through the Institute for Energy Systems, access to world‑class facilities, and opportunities to collaborate with industry. Typical taught content includes technologies for sustainable energy, sustainable energy contexts, applied energy finance, power conversion, carbon capture and transport; Semester 2 highlights include Solar Energy & Photovoltaic Systems, Principles of Wind Energy, Marine Energy, and Energy & Environmental Economics, plus options such as Power Systems Engineering and Economics, Advanced Power Electronics and Machines, and Technology Entrepreneurship. A summer research dissertation covers themes like wind, wave, tidal and solar energy, life‑cycle assessment, carbon capture, and decarbonisation of transport and heating/cooling, including policy and innovation in energy systems. 来源： https://eng.ed.ac.uk/studying/degrees/postgraduate-taught-masters
