Engineering (Renewable Energy)

About this course

Renewable energy engineering is a discipline whose importance has grown with the urgency of the transition away from fossil fuels. It applies engineering principles to the design, development and management of systems that generate energy from wind, solar, tidal, hydro and other renewable sources, requiring knowledge of mechanical, electrical and civil engineering alongside an understanding of the energy systems and policy contexts within which these technologies are deployed. Engineers who can work across these boundaries are among the most in demand in the modern engineering workforce. At the University of Durham this four-year, full-time programme builds on a common first two years in general engineering, giving you a broad technical foundation before you specialise in renewable energy. This structure gives you both the depth of specialist knowledge and the versatility of a general e
