2-Semester Pathway - Pre-Master's Programme - Continue to Master of Science - Renewable Energy Systems Technology

The Level 6 Pre-Master’s Programme (PMP) is a two-semester programme, with guaranteed progression to a wide range of Master’s degrees at Loughborough University.

This Pre-Master’s Programme (PMP) is designed to prepare international students for postgraduate study in the United Kingdom. The PMP will allow them to improve their English while learning the study skills and research methods that they will need during their Master's degree studies. They will study academic modules relating to their chosen progression route. Each semester consists of thirteen teaching weeks, one reading week, and an assessment week. The weekly hours of study varies by semester with them on average studying around 18-21 (and up to 21) hours per week. Each module will have an assessment schedule, which will be completed by the end of the appropriate semester. Assessments will be designed to demonstrate learning across the individual modules of the programme and to allow them to experience a wide range of the assessment methods used in United Kingdom postgraduate programmes. Assessments will include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examination and unseen written examinations.

Within this Master of Science - Renewable Energy Systems Technology programme, students will develop the full range of knowledge and skills needed for a successful and effective career in the global renewable energy sector. The highly skilled graduates are prized by industry, with many now holding senior positions in industry, commerce, government and NGOs. The programme is designed and delivered by experts from the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST), the United Kingdom’s largest sustainable energy engineering research centre. At CREST, they have influential partnerships with industry, policymakers, and researchers across the world. All of the modules are taught by leading experts in the field, meaning the course offers the latest research and expertise in energy system sustainability.
