Energy Engineering

About this course

Energy engineering is the discipline concerned with the systems and technologies through which energy is generated, converted, stored, and distributed. It encompasses conventional and renewable energy sources, the engineering of power generation plant, electrical distribution networks, energy efficiency, and the technical and commercial challenges of transitioning to low-carbon systems. As governments and industries around the world commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and moving away from fossil fuels, the demand for energy engineers who can design, operate, and innovate within cleaner energy systems has become one of the most pressing in the engineering labour market. At the University of the Highlands and Islands, this part-time programme allows you to develop your engineering knowledge and skills at a pace that suits your circumstances, whether you are working in an energy-re
