| Master of Science in Energy and Environment |
| The Masters of Science in Energy and Environment is a new degree programme offered by the Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST). Through coursework and research, students focus on the critical intersection between current and future energy technologies and their impact on the environment. The programme provides a foundational understanding of the science and engineering behind energy conversion, delivery, and use; as well as an understanding of the physical processes that govern the transport and eventual fate of pollution in our environment. |
 |
Students also learn quantitative analytical tools which can inform and greatly improve policy and planning decisions involving energy and the environment.
The MSc is designed for students with a strong quantitative background and an accredited bachelor's degree in engineering, applied sciences, mathematics or economics. The degree requires a minimum of 18 months to complete and involves coursework, research, and a final thesis. The thesis allows students to develop expertise in an area closely related to their particular interests.
The programme courses offered in the 2004/2005 academic year include:
• Fundamentals of Advanced Energy Conversion
• Sustainable Energy
• Environmental Policy and Economics
• Chemicals in the Environment: Fate and Transport
• Biomass Processing for Energy Conversion
• Electricity and Natural Gas: Issues in Regulation and Economics
Graduates from this programme at MUST will be well-suited to accelerate to the forefront of their field. They will have a fundamental understanding of energy technologies, skills in quantitative economic analysis, and analytical tools for decision making and policy evaluation. With the current scarcity of energy and environmental specialists in Malaysia, a wide range of opportunities exist. Graduates will be well-qualified for positions in academia, the private sector, or public agencies dealing with technology development, strategic planning, and energy/environmental policy.
The programme requires a minimum 18 months of full time study .

|
| Each degree programme consists of 3 semesters of 16 weeks each as well as 2 short sessions of 6 weeks each. Each programme combines an in-depth study of one branch of an engineering field together with studies of its broader technical implications, its economics, political, regulatory, and management contexts. The programme will also provide students with experience in carrying out research projects, both individually, as well as a member of a team.
