You will then transfer to the University's Ningbo campus in China and spend the summer semester producing a supervised dissertation. This will be your opportunity to undertake a major piece of independent research, using the knowledge and gained during the course at the award-winning Centre for Sustainable Energy Technology (CSET).
The MSc Energy Conversion and Management (Nottingham/Ningbo) is offered on a full-time basis over one year (September to September).
You will spend the first two semesters (September to June) at the University of Nottingham's University Park Campus in Nottingham, during which time you will complete a series of taught modules (120 credits). You will then transfer to the University's Ningbo Campus in China for the summer term (June to September) where you will undertake a 60-credit dissertation.
To be allowed to register for the dissertation, you must achieve an average mark of 50% or above in both the autumn and spring semesters.
