Hello everyone..I know MSc discussion is a bit off-topic, but here it goes..I've got offers from Strathclyde, Loughborough & Aberdeen for MSc Renewable Technology & for MSc Energy Conversion & Mgmnt from Nottingham..which course is better suited for getting a work placement? Also abt. my background, I'm a mech. engineer with 2 yrs work-ex in procurement (aka irrelevant work-ex) & want to switch to the field of green technology.Your opinion/guidance will be much appreciated.Thanks in advance!!

It's so much that the MSc is off topic, but that it's not in a business school.

Looking online, I think Loughborough and Cranfield seem to be the leading schools for for this. I think a good guide would be to ask the schools about Chartered Engineer (CEng) status: that's very useful, and these courses may differ in their recognition.

Imperial also offers an MSc in Renewable Energy Futures.

Although none of these will offer the same kind of robust career growth as a specialized MBA (like Haas' Energy and Clean Tech program) or an MBA that offers clean tech or CSR classes (like St. Gallen's - see the coverage in this article: http://www.find-mba.com/article/596/cool-mba-electives-beyond-the-core-curriculum)
