One of the biggest challenges humankind faces is the transition to a renewable energy economy. The success of this evolution depends on the creative solutions of a new generation of renewable energy engineers with specialised skills.​

What is renewable energy engineering? Spanning the disciplines of chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering, this degree will equip you to work across the whole spectrum of technologies for renewable energy capture, conversion, storage, delivery and management. You’ll also choose courses in related areas of climate change policy, law and economics and environmental sciences.

What you will study

Become job-ready and build critical technical engineering skills in:

• solar and wind
• geothermal, hydro, ocean and hybrid systems
• carbon accounting and energy auditing
• power electronics and renewable energy systems
• bioenergy
• energy storage systems

A significant number of highly qualified engineers with specialities in renewable energy are required worldwide in order to meet global commitments to tackle climate change. That, in addition to community concerns on energy security and affordability, has driven government and organisations to seek highly trained engineers with expertise in the multidisciplinary field of renewable energy to evaluate, design, operate and optimise renewable energy systems for power generation.

Typical positions include:

• Renewable Energy Engineer
• Renewable Energy Systems Design
• Energy Management Consultant
• Energy Accounting/Auditing
• Energy Policy Development Officer
• Renewable Energy Innovation
