MSc Renewable Energy

The global demand for clean and renewable energy is increasing due to international efforts to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions. This demand requires specialized skills in energy resources like hydroelectric, wind, and solar energy. LJMU's School of Engineering offers a one-year MSc Renewable Energy programme, which focuses on three specialist modules: Renewable Industry Economics, Renewable Energy Resources and Site Selection, and Offshore Renewable Energy Technologies. The programme is designed to give students a distinct standing in the industry and career progression to senior management roles. The curriculum includes the advanced understanding of renewable energy system design processes, including offshore installation types, their integration into industrial operations, and their limitations. The MSc Renewable Energy programme is future-proofed by including new and emerging technologies in renewable energy systems, photovoltaic/wind energy converters, and their connection to the power grid.

• A Class 2.2 honours degree or above in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
