Study Details: 1 Year
Develop the critical understanding and practical skills needed to solve engineering problems creatively. Develop and implement solutions to engineering problems in renewable energy capture and sustainable design systems.
Throughout this course, you will make use of lab and field-testing facilities for measuring and monitoring the performance of different renewable energy systems, such as wind turbines, photovoltaic power systems and heat pumps. You will also learn to use tools for component and system design, simulation of the performance and monitoring of renewable energy systems.
These tools include Matlab/Simulink, GH WindFarmer and WAsP for wind farm design, PVsyst for photovoltaic system design and Labview for system monitoring. You’ll also have the option to experience a Professional/Work Placement in addition to the taught course.
Honours degree in relevant scientific, engineering and technology subjects, grade 2:1 or above
Grade 2:2 is also considered if there is evidence of good mathematical background and/or relevant industrial/engineering experience
IELTS: 6.0 with no component lower than 5.5
Note: An ATAS may be required for overseas students – students are advised to ‘Check if you need an ATAS certificate (https://www.academic-technology-approval.service.gov.uk/)’ using CAH code CAH10-01-09
After graduating from this course you’ll have gained the skills and knowledge required for a successful career in the growing renewable energy sector.
The roles available to you include system engineer, design engineer, project engineer, and energy consultant. You’ll also be equipped to carry out consultancy work in the energy sector.
With the skills you’ve developed, you’ll soon be able to move into lucrative director-level positions.
