MSc Renewable Energy Engineering

The MSc Renewable Energy Engineering course at Coventry University trains engineering graduates for the growing renewable energy industry. It focuses on tackling climate change and helping meet the UN's goals for sustainable development. Students will learn about renewable ways to create heat, power, and transport, with a focus on cutting down carbon emissions cheaply. The course includes visits to power plants and hands-on work with new tech like AI for energy and smart energy systems.

Students will learn through talks, group discussions, practical lab work, and workshops. As a full-time master's student, students will complete 180 credits each year. For every 30-credit module, students will spend about 300 hours studying, including class time and their own work. Performance will be checked through presentations, group projects, tests, essays, exams, and practical assignments. Students might also have the chance to do a work placement to get real-world experience and skills.

Coventry University is a modern university with a strong reputation for excellent education and practical research. It started way back in 1843! The university has top-notch facilities for all its subjects, including advanced labs for healthcare, design, and engineering. Its campus is right in the city centre and is always improving, making Coventry a friendly place to be. The university also works closely with businesses, which means students get great opportunities for projects and job placements, helping them with their future careers.

Students can study many different subjects at Coventry, from Medicine, Law, Engineering, and Business to the Arts, and even Renewable Energy Engineering. The university has thousands of students from over 160 countries. They focus on creating a supportive and interesting learning environment for everyone.

Applicants need to send in a personal statement. In this, they should explain why they want to study the course and share any other important details about their education. They also need a reference from either a teacher or an employer. If they want to show any work experience they have, they can choose to upload their CV (their work history) with their application.

Grade Requirements:

• Those applying need a good honours degree (2:2 or higher) in engineering, physical science, or math. The university also considers similar professional or international qualifications if the applicant has good results.
• If the applicant's degree or experience doesn't perfectly match these requirements, the course director will review the application individually and make a decision based on the applicant's unique strengths.

English Proficiency:

• If English is not the applicant's first language, they will need to show they can use English well. This means getting an overall score of 6.0 in the IELTS exam, with no less than 5.5 in each part of the test. Other approved English language tests (called SELT) are also accepted.

International students are charged £18,600 full-time for tuition fees, with a £1,800 professional placement fee if a placement is secured. These fees cover teaching, assessments, facilities, and support services. 

Additional costs may include accommodation, living expenses, books, stationery, printing, re-assessments, and optional overseas field trips (estimated at £400+ per trip).

Coventry University helps postgraduate students with their studies by offering several scholarships and financial support. For example, if the applicant is an international student (not from the EU), they might get a £2,500 Vice-Chancellor Postgraduate Scholarship for their first year of a full-time postgraduate degree. If the applicant is an EU student, the EU Support Bursary can lower their tuition fees to match what UK students pay.

Also, if the applicant has already graduated from Coventry University with an undergraduate or postgraduate degree, they could get an Alumni Discount of 25% off most postgraduate course fees. And for talented athletes, there are Coventry University Sports Scholarships that provide either £1,500 or £3,000 per year, along with services, for students who can compete at a high level for the university in certain sports.
