To gain experience in research applicable to Sustainable Energy Transitions, students undertake a clearly defined individual project requiring literature reviewing, project design and definition, experimental activities, data processing and interpretation and reporting. The project should also provide the student with the opportunity for investigation and problem solving. All projects will involve ‘supervised but independent’ research leading to the submission of a project dissertation for examination. Students will also give an oral presentation on the project experience. Students may be based within the University of Aberdeen or within an industrial setting.
