The University of Glasgow - UOFG
speciality: Sustainability

Fantastic university with my campus situated in a trendy area of Glasgow city known as the West End.

Glasgow is a great city, full of life and fantastic people to get along with and the university is no different. All my classmates as well as other people from the uni have become great friends since graduating and the degree from a Russel Group uni has massively increased my employment opportunities.

The degree itself was very difficult but the staff were on hand to offer advice and help whenever required.

The most difficult part was likely my thesis which was a non-disclosable topic and therefore I couldn’t seek advice from any classmates. However, my professor Dr Ian Watson and PhD helper were always there to support during this time and I eventually powered through it!

With the exponential increase in population and pollution levels, the engineering practices around the world are shifting towards a sustainable trend. All the branches of engineering and technology are currently preparing for this paradigm shift. A career in Sustainability and Sustainable Energy therefore opens the door to endless opportunities and what else would be better than pursuing a master’s in Sustainable Energy at a Russell’s group institution like the University of Glasgow?. The programme offers advanced courses on renewable energy sources and energy conversion systems along with very diverse range of electives like environmental biotechnology, nuclear power reactors, electrical energy systems, power electronics and so on, making it a subject of interdisciplinary nature. So, students with a background in any branch of engineering could pursue a career in Sustainability with this course. The graduates of this course can work at various positions like research analyst, research assistant, hydroelectric power engineer, sustainability consultant and so on. Also, even though the programme has its roots from various branches of engineering, the mode of delivery of the content has been pristine and the concepts were made crystal clear by the faculties. I would personally recommend this course to anyone who wishes to pursue a career in renewable energy.
