Master of Philosophy in Energy Studies – Renewable Energy (MPhil. ES-RE)

The Full-time two-year MPhil programme aims at fully integrating Renewable Energy generating technologies and environmental issues to meet the changing demands of the energy industry, particularly in Sierra Leone and the sub-region. The programme was designed in response to a recognized need from the energy industry for graduates who have a detailed knowledge, appreciation and fundamental understanding of the various sources of energy, their production, harnessing, conversion, and environmental concerns associated with the use of energy, and how energy can be well managed in industries and domestic settings to overcome environmental issues associated with the use of energy.

The programme is grounded in engineering and has a strong emphasis on energy systems where electricity is the final product. However, energy is also considered in the wider context of consumption patterns, efficiency, economics, policy and regulation. It provides students with a broad training in, and understanding of, energy systems in the context of the sustainability of energy supply.
