Program Outline
Outline:
This course focuses on developing the knowledge and skills to deliver decarbonisation initiatives with real impact. You’ll deliver impact as part of your studies by working on an innovative consultancy project with a company or organisation instead of doing a traditional dissertation. You could work with businesses, charities, government, or the local community on a decarbonisation project linked to real challenges and delivering strategic impact.
Assessment:
You’ll be assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject. These will typically include open book examinations, written assignments, in-class test and activities, peer evaluation, presentations, and a consultancy project. Assessed work will typically include a substantial element (20-40%) of team activity, which may include peer evaluation.

We provide a flexible high-quality learning experience delivered online and in person on campus. You should expect to spend approximately 15 to 20 hours a week studying on your course.

The sessions typically include a mix of seminar discussions and team-based working.

By working with a company or organisation on our consultancy project, you'll gain direct experience of professional collaboration working on real problems relevant in industry. As well as this, you'll have the support of our Faculty’s postgraduate employability team, who run professional skills workshops, and one-to-one sessions to help you with your CV and interview preparation.
