Areas of Specialisation

Energy and sustainability

This specialisation provides advanced education in sustainable and renewable energy, power generation, energy utilisation and transformation, energy efficiency and management, industrial ecology and green buildings. The multidisciplinary knowledge and skills that you’ll gain will enable you to manage complex energy-related problems.

When you graduate, you’ll be ready to lead development in the energy sector with the necessary skills and insights to manage industrial challenges, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Oil and fats processing

Oil and fats are renewable resources that are used globally for food applications, energy and consumer goods production. With lectures co-delivered by industry practitioners, your studies will cover a full spectrum of the oils and fats industry – from upstream, midstream to downstream processing – with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

You’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in process or product design in our modern research facilities, which includes an in-house pilot plant. You can also opt to go on a short-term industry attachment.

Industrial and robotics engineering

In this specialisation, you’ll study the optimisation of industrial engineering system designs from the perspective of productivity, cost and sustainability.

You’ll be exposed to a set of methodological tools, theories, concepts, principles and skills related to supply chain management, operations research, statistics, additive manufacturing, robotics and artificial intelligence. You’ll be able to apply your newly acquired knowledge and skills to design, implement and improve systems in manufacturing and services sectors.

Career Paths

Graduates with the skills to solve real-world problems related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Industry 4.0 are highly sought after. Your expertise will be needed in oil and gas, renewable energy, energy and power, construction, oleo-chemical, refinery, food and beverage, manufacturing, electrical and transport industries.

You can also consider pursuing a higher degree by research.
