Overview
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and aid sustainable development, there is an urgent need to support our electricity generating capacity through the development of low carbon technologies, particularly those generated from renewable sources.
The ocean represents a vast and largely untapped energy resource, that could be exploited as a form of low carbon electricity generation, and there is much European and global commercial and R&D activity in this energy sector.
Career
Individuals graduating from the programme will be in high demand across the marine renewable energy sector, working for device developers as resource analysts, entering oceanographic consultancies working on in situ and modelling studies for the wave & tidal industry, geophysical surveying for the industry, opportunities to work on grid infrastructure (National Grid) and cabling, leasing bodies such as The Crown Estate, and working for government-sponsored environmental bodies such as The Environment Agency and Natural Resource Wales, who ensure that marine renewable energy exploitation will not negatively impact our natural resources.
The Marine Renewable Energy course at Bangor University also prepares graduates for many of the technical requirements for a career in offshore wind, and is well suited to providing students with the background to progress to a PhD in marine renewable energy or a related discipline.
