Overview

Design innovative solutions to social and environmental problems around energy supply, distribution and consumption, and begin a rewarding career in sustainable energy.

Immerse yourself in the latest technologies that improve energy efficiency. Learn how to use renewable resources to reduce the environmental and social impacts of conventional energy resources.

With the Master of Engineering (Sustainable Energy), taught in the heart of Melbourne, you'll learn why managing the transition towards a more sustainable energy sector is a priority for governments, the private sector and the general community.

Through your studies in this degree, you will learn to:

• plan and effectively manage an independent project on sustainable energy topics at a professional engineering level
• locate and critically review scientific and engineering literature, and apply engineering practices and research methods to conduct sustainable energy projects and evaluate their results
• communicate findings effectively to a professional audience.

A final-year research project forms an essential part of this degree. Through this self-selected project (from a range of available topics), you will draw on not only the advanced engineering skills you have built, but also coursework around ethical, economic and social responsibility.
