This integrated master’s programme (also offered part-time) equips you with skills in renewable energy technologies, smart grids, sustainable engineering, renewable power systems and energy management – preparing you for a career solving global challenges through innovation.

You’ll be taught by an experienced academic team, studying modules including professional engineering skills, solar and wave energy systems and eco-vehicle technology, while developing transferable skills in project management, advanced analytical skills and computer-aided design and simulation.

In addition, specific aims of this course are to provide the opportunity for each student to demonstrate their ability to develop appropriate solutions for existing and emerging problems in the renewable energy sector, using new and existing technology, through innovation, creativity and change. The course is also consistent with the content and standards expected of relevant accrediting professional institutions, the Engineering Council and the QAA.

Throughout the course you will be provided with a range of opportunities for hands-on experience in our industry-standard Institute of Technology (IoT) engineering labs, whilst being given a range of real-world work-based learning projects to increase your employability skills and potential. Upon graduation, you will leave Solent with an integrated masters (MEng) qualification, providing a competitive edge in the job market and a solid foundation for further research.

If you’re looking to study our renewable energy engineering integrated masters degree but don’t have the relevant qualifications or experience, the STEM foundation year will help you develop the core skills and knowledge to progress. Find out more about the STEM foundation year.

The part-time version of this course is ideal for those already in employment in a similar discipline who wish to boost their current skills gained in industry with an MEng qualification.
