Subsurface Energy Systems MSc
This programme delivers the key concepts of subsurface energy and CO2 storage, geothermal energy or transitional gas and integrates geoscience, engineering, political and societal aspects important for large scale implementation of these technologies. The programme is recommended for Geoscientists, Petroleum Engineers, and Governmental Stakeholders and beyond such that they can participate in the management of subsurface reservoirs used to switch from a fossil fuel driven to a decarbonised economy.

Physical sciences and Engineering: MSc by Research
Students undertake a research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor and, unlike a postgraduate taught degree, there are no formal lectures or seminars and work is not formally examined until after the final thesis is submitted.
-
Geoenergy MSc
This MSc is aimed at students who wish to pursue a geoscience-related career in the future energy sector as it transitions from fossil fuels to a low carbon economy.

Carbon Capture and Storage Scholarships
The School of GeoSciences offers many Scholarships and Bursaries for Masters students. Opportunities that may be available to students applying to MSc Carbon Capture and Storage include:
C$10,000 scholarship to study CCS in Canada
The University of Edinburgh and the University of Regina have established this scholarship with the support of SaskPower for up to three CCS MSc students per year to undertake their dissertation project in Regina. SaskPower are the operators of the world’s first full scale CCS plant, Boundary Dam. Successful students for this competitive award will be accepted as a Visiting Graduate student at the University of Regina after successfully completing two semesters of the CCS MSc in Edinburgh. An upper second class degree or better in an Engineering discipline will be required for consideration.

Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE): MRes Geoenvironmental Engineering
This one-year research-led MRes is suitable for those who want to tailor studies to suit their own research interests and career objectives. More information
CEE Masters module: Rock Mechanics, Tunnelling and Groundwater
This module introduces CCS from a rock mechanics perspective and uses the world-leading Aquistore project in Canada as a case study.
CEE Dissertation topics on CCS / CCS-related topics
These are offered to both undergraduates and masters students. There is also potential for summer internships on CCS topics, through competitive schemes such as the Interns@Strathclyde or the Carnegie Trust Summer Internship Programme.
Naval Architecture, Ocean and Engineering Department: MSc
CCS is taught as part of the Subsurface Technology module to Subsea and Pipeline Engineers, and is offered as a MEng Mechanical option. MSc dissertations on CCS topics are offered to students.
