Course overview
The programme is designed to give you a broad overview of the field of renewable energy together with sufficient technical depth so that you can be functionally useful within the field. In Year 1 a number of modules provide underpinning knowledge that is then made use of in Year 2 modules, which focus on specific renewable energy technologies.
Throughout the programme a concerted attempt is made to apply the knowledge and skills acquired to examples relevant to the field.
An effort is made to enable you to adopt a problem solving approach that will enable you to tackle unfamiliar situations and examples in an effective and where appropriate, quantitative manner.
