The Master of Science (Physics) in Energy Studies at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) focuses on research and technological development in renewable energy, with particular emphasis on solar energy and bioenergy. The programme covers three main research areas: solar photovoltaic technology, solar thermal systems, and bioenergy. Photovoltaic research involves the fabrication of solar cells and modules, electrical power systems, and computer modelling. Solar thermal research focuses on the design and development of solar thermal systems, including hot water production, drying systems, air-conditioning applications, and computer modelling. Bioenergy research explores the utilization of biomass and waste materials, as well as the production of solid and liquid biofuels through fast and slow pyrolysis processes.

Through these research areas, the programme aims to advance knowledge and practical applications in renewable energy technologies, supporting the development of sustainable energy solutions and more efficient methods of energy conversion and utilization.
