与其他行业相比，在可再生能源行业开拓了更多的职业机会
This programme has been specifically designed to help meet the projected growth in demand for renewable energy specialists by teaching the advanced skills needed to design, build and optimise renewable energy infrastructure. According to a recent report, 40% of the UK’s power in 2022 came from a mix of wind, solar, bioenergy and hydroelectric sources. The massive worldwide growth in renewables is creating a major skills shortage as countries rush to develop more secure and sustainable energy sources.One of the main features of this programme is its breadth and interdisciplinary approach to renewable energy. The courses draw heavily upon the research expertise of the School of Engineering and our industry partners to provide you with a thorough grounding in the technical and scientific aspects of renewable energy, including, marine, wind, solar, geothermal and bioenergy.You will also gain an in-depth understanding of the challenges related to energy conversion, storage and integration to the grid and engage with the wider legal and commercial considerations involved in renewable energy.Aberdeen is an exciting place to study renewable energy engineering as the city and surrounding region are at the forefront of the energy transition in the UK. There are several major energy transition projects already up and running including Equinor’s Hywind project and the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre, Scotland’s largest offshore wind test and demonstration facility.The city’s new Energy Transition Zone – part of the £350 million Aberdeen Harbour expansion – will act as a focal point for applying the tremendous R&D expertise built up in oil and gas over the last four decades to fast-track the development and deployment of wind, tidal, hydrogen, geothermal, and carbon capture storage technologies.With hundreds of energy companies based in Aberdeen, our programmes benefit from significant industry engagement, including industry advisory panels, guest lectures, field trips, site visits, networking and careers events, and industry-supported student projects.
