What the program is

The program is a Master of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering, awarded by Kingston University London and taught locally through ESOFT Uni. It is a part-time postgraduate program designed for working professionals, and it ends with an independently conducted dissertation on a specialist renewable energy topic.

The program page says it develops knowledge of renewable energy systems design and development, technical and commercial consultancy, and project management in a sustainable engineering setting. It also covers the environmental, economic, social and legal side of professional practice, and gives a strategic view of management issues in the sustainable energy sector.

The Uplift record does not state a duration, so ask ESOFT Uni how long the part-time schedule runs and how classes are timetabled.

Who delivers it

The qualification is awarded by Kingston University London, and the program page says the ESOFT Metro Campus delivers it locally in Sri Lanka. When you speak to ESOFT Uni, ask how the program is quality assured with Kingston University, who sets and marks the assessments, and how the dissertation is examined. These points affect how your qualification is described on your CV.

Entry requirements

The entry rules on the program page are:

A relevant undergraduate degree in engineering, energy or a related discipline, with at least second class honours or an equivalent qualification.
Professional experience in engineering or energy is an advantage but is not a hard requirement.
English language proficiency may be required. The program page does not name a test or a score.

The page does not define what counts as a related discipline beyond engineering and energy. If your degree is in a neighbouring field, such as construction or physics, ask ESOFT Uni to confirm your eligibility before you pay any fee.

Fees

According to the Uplift record, the local tuition fee is LKR 840,000 in total, and the application fee is LKR 25,000. The program page adds that monthly instalment plans may be available and that conditions apply. Fees can change, so confirm the current figures and the payment schedule with ESOFT Uni on the course page before you apply.

Uplift does not currently list an intake date for this program, so check the next start date and the application deadline with the institute.

Careers this program points to

In practice, most students on a part-time program like this are already employed, so the qualification is often used to move into a more senior or more specialised role rather than to start a career.

The program page lists roles such as renewable energy engineer, solar power systems designer, wind energy consultant, renewable energy project manager and sustainable energy business analyst. These are examples from the institute, not guarantees. Hiring in this field depends on projects, licences and the employers active in Sri Lanka at the time, so speak to people working in the sector as well as to the institute.

Planning your study load

Because the program is part-time, most students will study alongside a full-time job. Plan the dissertation early. It is the largest piece of independent work and is the stage where many part-time students fall behind. If your employer works on solar, wind or biomass projects, ask whether you can base your research on a real workplace question, and get written permission to use any company data.

Questions to ask ESOFT Uni
