Course overview\
According to the World Meteorological Organization, the supply of clean energy needs to double by 2030 if the world is to reach net zero targets by 2050, and the number of jobs in renewables is expected to reach 42m globally in this time.

You learn fundamental mechanical and electrical engineering principles and develop expertise in sustainable energy and clean technologies. Explore solar, wind, geothermal and tidal energy systems, transition fuels such as hydrogen, power storage, and distribution technologies.

You also gain commercial awareness, developing planning and project management skills to keep up to date with net zero innovation.
