Course Summary

Renewable Energy Systems and the Environment is one of the pathways offered within our Sustainable Engineering programme. Examining how quality of life can be balanced by the need for conservation of world resources, you'll explore the impact energy has on the environment and how it can be reduced.

You’ll learn about different energy resources – renewable, fossil and nuclear – and look at the systems that are employed to control these resources such as: combined heat and power schemes, heat pumps, solar capture devices, high efficiency condensing boilers, advanced materials, adaptive control systems.

Our course has been running for more than 20 years and has over 400 graduates. External examiners consistently refer to our beneficial links with industry and the high quality of our project work.
