Overview
Renewable Energy Engineering with Foundation Year is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Chemical, Process and Energy Engineering splits the week between lectures, laboratory work and design sessions, and ends in an individual or group project.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
Careers opportunities
Accreditation is the thing to check before anything else on an engineering course, because it decides whether the degree counts toward chartered status later. A three year bachelor's meets part of the academic requirement; the integrated master's meets all of it.
Roles graduates go into
- Graduate engineer in your discipline
- Design engineer
- Project engineer
- Manufacturing or process engineer
