Study Details: MSc 1 year Full-time, 2 years Part-time
This programme is a specialist programme with a clear Mechanical Engineering focus. It aims to equip students with a widespanning, yet detailed overview of renewable energy resources and their exploitation, as well as the socio-economic and environmental impacts of related activities. To do this, the programme provides a broad introduction to current energy issues and specialist knowledge and skills to analyse, appraise or design renewable energy systems or equipment.
This programme is an advanced MSc in the rapidly expanding area of renewable energy engineering. It is aimed at students wishing to develop critical understanding of the significant changes taking place in the energy industry due to the development and integration of wind, marine, biomass and solar technologies. The programme will enable graduates to develop and implement creative solutions to the problems encountered in renewable energy capture, conversion, storage and management.
Entrants to the courses will normally have a good Honours degree in engineering or a relevant science discipline such as geology, physics, chemistry or mathematics, from a British or overseas university. A background in geoscience is useful but not essential. The general selection criteria are ability and employability and, in addition to academic qualifications, experience, personality and motivation are taken into consideration.
