Renewable Energy Programs

Renewable Energy and Clean Technology also known as REaCT is a truly multi-disciplinary course focused on key areas that underpin the rapidly developing renewable energy and low carbon sectors, built around core understandings of electrical power generation from solar, wind and marine sources.
This course covers the interfacing and distribution technologies required to exploit these sources, and provides a sound understanding of the fundamental concepts, the design and analysis techniques required for engineering renewable energy systems. It also equips the students with the knowledge required to understand how to convert and distribute electrical energy from renewable sources, integrate it into low-carbon energy districts and buildings, through an intelligent use of flexible distributed resources, such as storage devices. However, the impact of renewables technologies diminishes if demand and carbon emission issues are not tackled, hence critical policy topics are also key to the course.

The world faces major challenges in meeting the current and future demand for sustainable and secure energy supply and use. The one-year Energy Technologies MPhil programme is designed for graduates who want to help tackle these problems by developing practical engineering solutions, and who want to learn more about the fundamental science and the technologies involved in energy utilisation, electricity generation, energy efficiency, and alternative energy.

The energy crisis is forcing the world to secure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Our MSc programme in Sustainable Energy Systems will equip you to contribute to a more sustainable future.
The programme is grounded in engineering, but you will be encouraged to consider the societal, economic, environmental and policy aspects of the industry.

The MSc in Energy, Society and Sustainability equips you with an understanding of how different societies can address the challenge of balancing energy with sustainability. It brings together a social, political, economic, and environmental understanding of low-carbon technologies.
You will explore the risks, costs, and benefits of transitioning to low-carbon energy in a globalised world by asking the following questions:

The global energy and power sectors are moving towards sustainable systems with significant demands for innovative technologies to help transition to net zero, and this course aims to prepare you to meet these challenges. You will be able to apply knowledge and skills developed in this course in energy and power generating industries with sustainability as a priority. You may also choose to pursue a research and development career to improve and develop current and future technologies. You will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to dream big and be an agent for change to secure the future of generations to come.
