Master of Science - Renewable Energy

This MSc will equip students with the advanced knowledge and skills to develop a successful career in the rapidly growing renewable energy sector. A choice of study routes enables students to specialise in developing the state-of-the-art technical skills required to design renewable energy systems, or to focus on managing renewable engineering projects and systems. Ranked in the UK top 5 for mechanical engineering, Cranfield University offers a unique, postgraduate-only environment, unique engineering-scale facilities for the development of efficient renewable energy technologies with low CO2 emissions and a teaching team with extensive experience of solving real world renewable energy challenges.

This course is designed for engineering, maths or science graduates who wish to develop a successful and rewarding career in the renewable energy sector. It will equip students with the multidisciplinary skills required to design, optimise and evaluate the technical and economic viability of renewable energy schemes. The engineering route will provide students with the state-of-the-art technical skills required to design renewable energy systems, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and technology lifecycle management (TPLM). Alternatively, students can specialise in managing renewable energy projects and systems; focusing on topics such as health and safety and environment; energy entrepreneurship and asset management.
