The M.Sc. in Zero Carbon Technologies addresses how technology to achieve the transformation to low-carbon energy and transport. The Zero Carbon Technology strand will cover power, transport and resources with related business and planning options.  Within the M.Sc., there is a wide range of module options and an excellent opportunity to engage in topical research with leading research groups within the School of Engineering. An important part of the MSc programme is a research dissertation, which directly builds on some of the content of the modules. Themed areas include advanced manufacturing, materials, fluid mechanics and automation design.

This M.Sc. course can be taken as either a full-time one year or a part-time two- or three-year postgraduate course. Alternatively, candidates may choose to study for a Postgraduate Diploma (60 ECTS) or a Postgraduate Certificate (30 ECTS) by selecting from various taught module options. The Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate awards do not include a research project. Part-time students may follow the staged award path over 3 years of study.  

 

Is This Course For Me?

The course "Mechanical Engineering - Zero Carbon Technology" offered by Trinity College Dublin is designed for postgraduate students who hold a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field and who are interested in pursuing a career in the development of zero-carbon technologies and sustainable energy systems.
