Renewable Energy

Our undergraduate degree in Renewable Energy covers this large and vital sector exploring a range of social, economic and environmental issues with a range of skills and approaches.

The course introduces students to the management of energy system transitions.

• Learning is centred around renewable energy production, how rapid technological advancements are changing the way that renewable energy is being generated and supplied, and the social and environmental impacts of these processes.

• You will learn five core themes including Project Management, Data Analysis and Management, Energy Economics, Health, Safety & Environment, and Technology

• The final year of study allows students to undertake a project of their choice (within the broad field of Renewable Energy).

Key Benefits

• Fieldwork/site visits (in person or virtual) involving research skills are present in levels 4, 5 and 6. After diverse applied fieldwork and learning experiences, students are particularly well placed to apply and carry out a wide range of demanding year-long sandwich placements in industry, government or in an overseas learning establishment*.

• The typical positive interaction between students and staff, and the supportive environment allows students to develop through the academic, personal and professional skills modules at each level.

• The course makes use of the Simulation Centre, a facility that allows simulation of real-life work-place scenarios, all within a monitored and recorded environment that allows students to develop skills and receive immediate feedback on their development. Simulated exercises help to prepare our students for the challenges of the professional world and ease the transition into the workplace after graduation**.
