From 2026/27, EFI courses are delivered as 20-credit courses rather than 10-credit courses. Continuing students may therefore see some courses listed at 20 credits that were previously offered at 10 credits. The overall requirements of the programme remain unchanged.
In order to be eligible for the Circular Economy (MSc) (fusion on-site), students need to obtain 180 SCQF level 11 credits.
The MSc must be completed within 3 years.
Across the 3 years of study, students must take the following:
a) 30 credits of programme compulsory courses*:
b) 40-50 credits of EFI Skills and Methods Suite courses*:
Please Note: As a continuing part-time student, you may be offered alternative arrangements for any programme compulsory or Skills and Methods Suite courses you did not study in Year 1 of your programme.
c) 40-50 credits of optional courses. These must include:
- A minimum of 20 credits of programme specific optional courses.
- Up to 20-30 credits selected from the EFI Postgraduate Taught Optional Course Portfolio.
d) 60 credits of programme core final project courses:
- Knowledge Integration and Project Planning: Circular Economy
- Futures Project: Circular Economy
All taught courses must be taken before the MSc final project.
