Why you should study this course
The global energy sector is changing, and the pace of change will likely increase as technology improves and policy support for clean energy solutions grows stronger. This Renewable Energy Management BSc course has been designed to meet this challenge, and features the latest energy sector developments, aiming to ensure you are well placed to take advantage of this fast-moving sector upon successful graduation.
What you'll study
Year one
In Year 1, there is a focus on teaching the fundamentals that will underpin successful progression through the course. These “essentials” are very largely delivered through two key modules, Fundamentals of Energy, and Global Energy Systems. Completion of these modules should ensure that all students are at the same level of knowledge, given the great variety of topics that may be covered in different syllabuses at A-level. Field skills and research skills are also introduced.
Modules
-
Fundamentals of Energy (20 credits)
-
Global Energy Systems (30 credits)
-
Field and Higher Education Skills for Energy Students (10 credits)
-
The Environment (20 credits)
-
The Economics of Renewable Energy (30 credits)
Year two
In Year 2, topics become more specialised, and you will be introduced to a variety of topics such as Project Management, Climate Change Science and Environmental Impact Assessment. Field skills and research skills are cultivated further, with a keen eye on the energy dissertation in Year 3.
Modules
-
Renewable Energy Systems (30 credits)
-
Climate Change Science and Symptoms (20 credits)
-
Health and Safety in the Energy Sector (10 credits)

Final year
In the final year, you will have the opportunity to explore Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) and Negative Emission Technologies (NETs), a topic that has a global application. The project forms an important component at this level, requiring detailed knowledge of the skills that have been acquired in previous years and, in some cases, from a year in industry too. The international field trip is also the culmination of the learning of field skills that have been acquired in previous years*.
