Environmental - Energy Sciences (Sustainable Energy) - CyI

The Master in Environmental and Energy Sciences (Sustainable Energy) uses the concept of sustainability with a focus on energy systems and resource economics to support a sustainable transition toward carbon-neutral energy systems and communities by providing students with:

(1) fundamental knowledge to understand the principles of energy science and thermal engineering and enable critical understanding of physics principles and their application in energy systems design and evaluation, (2) state-of-the-art tools and skills to assess the potential of renewable energy technologies to support the prosperity of thriving societies; (3) methods in policies to manage energy resources in a world constrained by finite natural resources and global climate change, in combination with knowledge of economic principles to address energy and environmental management issues at local, national and global level.

The MPhil is intended for students who want to pursue a research career, thus offering a more enhanced research component. Students are also required to complete an extensive research project, which is assessed through the submission of an MPhil dissertation and a viva at the end of the program.

The program is accredited by The Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education.
