The Master of Research (M.Res.) in Sustainability degree is a unique program designed to meet the long-standing needs of disseminating research skills to those working with and dealing with the sustainability and in particular the engineering aspects related to all aspects of design, manufacturing and resources. Students will quickly become able to engage in leadership, research, and publishing. It is aimed at those that may want to explore research studies before starting a Doctorate by research. Likewise, those that work in research and want a master’s qualification but in a subject specific to their work. Sustainability in engineering is becoming more technical and managing this requires higher skills in a larger percentage of the workforce.
