Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies Northumbria University

Overview

With climate change dominating news agendas and world economies committing to decarbonisation, there's never been a better time to study a Master's in renewable energy. 

It is predicted that there will be over 27,000 renewable energy jobs in the UK by 2030, and the North East is rapidly becoming a renewable energy hub. 

Thousands of renewable energy jobs are due to be created in the region over the next few years from large renewables projects such as the UK's first gigaplant manufacturing car batteries and a £300 million plant turning waste to energy.

The Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies program from Northumbria University  is a highly relevant qualification, which is accredited by the Engineering Council through the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
