Course Summary

Ready yourself for career success in renewables. Join our triple-accredited online MSc.

It gives you a much broader learning experience than many other Masters degrees in renewable energy. You can also study this degree full-time on campus.

You’ll train as an engineer in all major renewable energy sources, including:

  • geothermal
  • solar
  • biomass
  • hydro
  • marine
  • wind.

You’ll learn to design, build and optimise the renewable energy infrastructure of the future.

You’ll cover the theoretical knowledge and advanced technical skills you need as a renewables engineer. But you’ll also focus on the wider legislation, planning and economics of renewables. You’ll graduate ready to run green energy projects safely, to budget, and on time.
