MSc Renewable Energy Engineering

The MSc Renewable Energy Engineering at Kingston University is designed to help you apply engineering knowledge to real-world energy challenges. It is a 1-year full-time (or 2-year part-time) programme that equips you with the skills to design, simulate, and manage renewable energy systems across technologies like solar, wind, biofuels, and fuel cells.

Accredited by the Energy Institute, this course covers core topics such as photovoltaic systems, wind energy, sustainable biofuels, fuel cell technology, and renewable energy business management. When you graduate with this degree, you'll be able to apply engineering tools and simulation software to solve sustainability problems in energy production and distribution.

In this programme, you'll learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops, and group projects. Aside from guided sessions, you will learn independently (self-study).

Assessment is done through a combination of coursework, practicals, exams, and a final research dissertation. This method helps you apply what you’ve learned in both practical and theoretical ways.
