The MSc Energy Storage programme is a 12-month full-time Master’s degree designed for those keen to address the challenges of moving towards a low-carbon society. The programme provides a thorough grounding in the core disciplines of energy storage and is embedded in global best practice, technology and economics of its deployment. The course combines technology understanding with a critical assessment of performance characteristics within energy market structures, giving graduates expertise in sizing and selecting the optimum energy storage technology. The course is delivered by the Centre of Sustainable Technologies (CST), whose knowledge, facilities, industrial links and data sets are drawn from more than £10M of externally funded past and current projects in energy storage. Students will have the opportunity to engage with industry during their research dissertation project and through participation in workshops/seminars organised by the Centre for Sustainable Technologies linked to national and international projects in the field of energy storage and energy. You will be taught by published academics who will enhance your learning experience with research-led teaching. Research is a core activity of the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment. The Centre for Sustainable Technologies (CST) is one research centre within the Faculty. The centre focuses on energy as its core activity. It has a strong portfolio of energy and energy storage-related projects focussing on developing electrical and thermal storage technologies and their place in Distributed Energy Resource Systems and their markets. World-leading research is demonstrated by over £10M of externally funded research income in energy storage from EU, EPSRC and SfI and over 140 peer-reviewed publications in this and related fields.
