Study the science and technology that underpins the Renewable Energy sector, as well as societal and political considerations around its implementation, Learn from experts in energy policy, marine renewables, bio-fuels, electrical power and networks, wind, photo-voltaic and thermal technologies, Two to three month work placement provides a practical context that complements the taught programme, Our new state of the art REEF building provides dedicated workshop and laboratory space for individual and small group student research projects and Cornwall is where the UK's renewable energy revolution began and offers local field trips to specialist renewable energy laboratories, wind farms, solar photovoltaic systems and offshore test sites.<br><br>This degree programme has been designed to include the knowledge and skills that potential employers in the energy sector have told us they require. A very high proportion of our graduates find employment in the renewable energy sector or study for a higher degree in the field. The UK's commitment to expansion of renewable energy is likely to mean a high level of investment in the sector in the next decade. The adoption of the UK's microgeneration tariff in 2010, the phased adoption of the Renewable Heat Incentive from 2011-2014 and introduction of Contracts for Difference from 2014, suggests continued strong support for rapid expansion of renewable energy in the UK. All EU countries are making similar investments and the US, India, China and many other nations are also investing heavily in the renewable generation. This will create broad opportunities for those seeking to work in the sector, both nationally and internationally. The global renewables sector has seen investment in excess of 289bn in 2017 and that investment has been over 200bn every year since 2010. A total of 10.3 million people now work in renewables around the world. Our Renewable Energy programmes will shape you into a multi-talented individual, who is able to succeed in a wide variety of professional roles. Many students from the department take part in the Exeter Award and the Exeter Leaders Award. These schemes encourage you to participate in employability related workshops, skills events, volunteering and employment which will contribute to your career decision-making skills and success in the employment market.
