Sustainable Energy MSc

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!

Hi David, I came across your review about the MSc Sustainable Energy at the University of Glasgow, and I found it really helpful. You mentioned that the Programme was quite challenging but that the teaching staff were supportive, especially during your thesis.

I’m considering joining the same Programme, but my background is in Architecture rather than Engineering, so I’m a little concerned about the technical and mathematical aspects of the course.

If you don’t mind me asking, how difficult did you find the engineering/mathematics content, and do you think someone coming from an Architecture background could manage the programme with some preparation? Also, were there any particular courses that you found especially difficult?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight you could share about your experience. Thank you!
