Renewable Energy Engineering (with a Foundation Year) Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)

Whether you want to design the latest renewable technologies or specialise in distributing this energy to consumers, your skills will be in huge demand.

This course will give you a grounding in the whole energy lifecycle – from generation and conversion through to storage and transmission. It can lead to a wide range of career opportunities, including becoming a project engineer or design engineer.

You’ll learn how to design, manufacture and maintain wind turbines. Understand how battery fuel cells work and power plants operate. And explore how to supply electricity through local grids or integrate it with the National Grid.

There will be lots of hands-on learning, where you’ll be solving real engineering problems and grappling with challenges facing the renewable industry. Through our contacts with engineering companies, there will also be opportunities for industrial visits and placements.

You can use simulation software and 3D printing to bring your ideas to life. And in our dedicated Renewable Energy Lab, you’ll have access to everything from PV panels to hydrogen generators.

The course is taught by academics who are pioneering research into the latest renewable energy developments. This ensures our curriculum is up-to-date, relevant and reflects industry needs.

On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: *BEng (Hons) Renewable Energy Engineering*
