Course Content
The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Year 1:

Initial focus is on engineering fundamentals including Mathematics, Mechanical and Electrical engineering modules as well as Physics and Thermodynamics. Specific computer skills are covered as well as a broad introduction to Clean Energy Systems and environmental management in preparation for more advanced modules later in the programme.

Compulsory modules:
- Renewable Energy Systems 1
- Science for Energy Engineering
- Applied Computing for Energy Studies
- Energy Policy, Markets and Law
- Mathematics for Energy Systems
- Engineering Mechanics
- Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics
- Electrical and Electronic Principles
Year 2:

Core engineering modules continue the development of the key disciplines with further development of essential computational skills and additional modules on Clean Energy Systems. A field trip and related group project look at renewable energy resource assessment as well as developing report writing and team working skills.

Compulsory modules
- Energy Management
- Electrical Energy Conversion and Transport
- Fluids Mechanics
- Renewable Energy Systems 2
- Project Management and Accounting
- Mechanics of Materials
- Applied Thermodynamics
- Data, Signals and Systems
Final Year:

An undergraduate dissertation forms an important element of the work in this year, allowing students to explore areas of particular interest and develop research, analytical and writing skills. Optional modules include specific clean or renewable energy technologies such as Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Marine Renewables, Renewable Heat Technologies and Energy storage. Modules can also be selected from a range of environmental impact, energy policy, ethics and life cycle analysis subjects.

Compulsory modules
- Third Year Field Course (Group Project)
- Network Engineering, Modelling and Management
- Renewable Energy Dissertation
Entry Requirement
For these we require minimum aggregate scores of 80%, or 70% for the West Bengal Board Standard XII. Other regional board standard XII exams can be considered on an individual basis, but we usually require an aggregate score of at least 85%.
