Overview

With a growing world population, demands to meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and in recognition of the climate crisis affecting the planet, engineers have an increasing responsibility to be well-versed in issues concerning sustainability. This programme will provide you with the theoretical and practical knowledge to create and maintain a more sustainable world within your chosen area of engineering.

This Sustainable Engineering programme from University of Bristol combines foundational knowledge and skills in sustainable engineering with a specialism in one of three pathways:

MSc Sustainable Engineering: Civil Engineering and the Built Environment
MSc Sustainable Engineering: Renewable Energy
MSc Sustainable Engineering: Product Development and Advanced Manufacturing

A unique feature of our programme is that the dissertations are researched and written in groups, with each individual student making their own contribution. As such, you will decide on the topic with your group members and under the guidance of staff. This approach of working with other engineers, who may be on different pathways, reflects real-life engineering.

Career prospects

This programme will give you the knowledge, skills, and tools to be successful in creating sustainable engineering solutions in a variety of industries and settings. Depending on your chosen pathway and your individual interests, you could go on to work as a civil, structural, or mechanical engineer in an engineering firm; a renewable energy consultant; in product development; or in government. Graduates from this programme will be keenly sought after in roles such as these ones and others.
