Programme Overview
The University of Cambridge MPhil in Energy Technologies is an engineering-focused postgraduate programme designed for graduates who want to develop practical solutions to major energy challenges.
The programme explores the fundamental science and engineering technologies involved in energy utilisation, electricity generation, energy efficiency and alternative energy.
Students combine core and elective coursework with advanced engineering study and an individual research project. The programme allows students to tailor their studies across a broad range of energy-related engineering topics.
Assessment includes coursework, examinations, a dissertation and presentation of the research project.
The programme is intended to develop both technical depth and the ability to evaluate and implement engineering solutions for modern energy systems.
