course, you will be introduced to some o the key

academic concepts and issues relating to operations

management and organisational behaviour.

Analytical Techniques and Problem-solvingThis module aims to help you gain an awareness o the

importance o acquiring and using an analytical approach

and an understanding o the importance o critical

reasoning in evaluating materials and constructing your

own arguments in both oral and written work. You will

explore various problem-solving techniques that will

enable you to understand the complexities o dicult

problems and to use your knowledge, understanding

and powers o reasoning to provide possible solutions

to them.

Individual Research ProjectYou will develop the ability to write long pieces o

academic work displaying your understanding o subject

matter and ability to critically analyse materials and

concepts. You will be required to submit a 4,000 word

project.

Business and Management 2 Business Strategy

You will gain an understanding o key concepts and

issues within the strategy o organisations, with an

emphasis on a critically evaluative approach to

application.

MSc Sustainable Power and Energy Engineering

The advancement o civilization could not have taken

place without the generation and application o power and

energy. Progress in the 21st Century will remain centred

around power and energy, but this will have to be on a

sustainable basis. As beore, engineers will play a vital part

in achieving uture success and the School o Engineering

at the University o Lincoln is at the oreront o sustainable

engineering. The MSc in Sustainable Power and Energy

Engineering equips you with the knowledge and skills tosucceed in this area. The Schools superb links with

relevant local and global industries ensures that graduates

o this MSc will be in demand rom a wide range o

organisations across the globe.
