Overview
The UK Government has committed £12 billion of funding for a Green Industrial Revolution. Join the fight against climate change, find solutions to society's reliance on fossil fuels and be part of the next great energy transformation.
From energy conversion and storage technology, to low carbon heating systems, electrical circuit analysis and large network grids, you'll develop the engineering skills and technical knowledge you need to design, assess and improve electrical, renewable and alternative energy systems that benefit the climate and society.
With this Renewable Energy Engineering (Hons) degree offered at University of Portsmouth , follow in the footsteps of engineers who worked on radical advancements such as solar-powered drones and the hydrogen fuel used to heat and power green homes.
BEng or MEng?
You can study this course as a 3-year Bachelor's degree (BEng) or a 4-year integrated Master's degree (MEng). The MEng allows you to achieve a Master’s level degree with just one extra year of undergraduate study, further enhancing your career prospects.
Key facts:
- Design renewable energy systems for electricity, transport or heating applications, for residential and commercial markets
- Use cost analysis to compare renewable energy technologies with traditional fuel systems from the points of view of business, industry and maintenance
- Get a better understanding of solar PV, wind turbines, batteries, hydrogen energy, energy-efficient buildings and sustainable transport.
- Learn about many aspects of smart grid management, energy storage, charging of electric vehicles and system automation
- Work in industry on optional modules or your optional placement year, networking with and working alongside established experts and prospective employers
Career opportunities:
When you graduate, you'll be ready for a career working at the forefront of the technology responsible for renewable energy. Not only is the work rewarding, but you'll be working in a highly skilled area, which is always in-demand, and get to be part of the solution to one of the most pressing issues facing society.
You'll graduate with the skills and understanding to work in many related areas, including:
- Energy generation – such as in solar or wind power
- Energy conversion and storage – in areas such as batteries and hydrogen fuel cell technologies.
- Sustainable transport systems – in fields such as electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, as well as hydrogen and biomethane vehicles
