The Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies MSc at the University of Northumbria Newcastle equips you to address the urgent global need for clean energy solutions. As the world transitions towards decarbonisation, this postgraduate programme focuses on critical areas such as wind, photovoltaic, and hybrid renewable energy systems, alongside thermo-mechanical energy conversion and sustainable development principles. You will gain essential knowledge for a career in the rapidly expanding renewable energy sector, preparing you to contribute to vital engineering challenges and opportunities.
This full-time, on-campus Master's degree is studied over two years, integrating theoretical learning with practical application. You will explore topics through lectures, laboratory work, and industry-standard software like MATLAB, with access to specialist facilities for power networks and renewable energy testing. The second year culminates in an Advanced Practice Semester and a significant Research Project, allowing you to develop practical experience and potentially contribute to published research. You will graduate with the advanced technical and research skills sought after by employers in the global sustainable energy industry.
