Renewable Energy Engineering program structure

Most undergraduate degrees in renewable energy engineering are offered as three-year BEng programs. However, it’s possible to combine your bachelor’s and master’s education in an integrated MEng degree. MEng programs last a minimum of four years.

If the integrated MEng course isn’t for you, you can pursue a separate MSc after finishing your BEng. These usually take between one and two years to complete, depending on whether you’re a full or part-time student.

If you’re passionate about conducting cutting-edge research, you could enroll in a doctorate degree. PhDs generally take between four and six years of study.

You’ll encounter a wide variety of teaching methods, including lectures, seminars, workshops, and tutorials. You’ll also benefit from trips to renewable energy facilities where you’ll carry out fieldwork.

The content of your course will depend on where you study and the modules you select. But here are some core topics you’ll probably cover:

  • Wave and tidal energy systems
  • Solar and wind energy systems
  • Thermodynamics and fluid mechanics
  • Energy policies and law
  • Mechanical principles
  • Manufacturing principles
  • Electrical and electronic principles
  • Environmental impact assessment
