Our MSc programme in Renewable Energy has two specialist routes. Students can choose between a technical Engineering Route, or a Management Route both of which are underpinned by shared core modules to enable knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary teamwork and collaboration on complex, future-focused energy challenges.
This is a forward-looking, industry-aligned programme that combines strong theoretical grounding with practical, applied learning. Delivered by WMG at the University of Warwick, the course equips students with the expertise needed to design, manage and lead renewable energy systems, projects and organisations across the globe.
Students will gain advanced sector knowledge, hands-on technical and analytical skills, and the ability to evaluate and implement real-world renewable energy solutions. The programme also strengthens research capability, fosters innovative problem-solving, and builds ethical and societal awareness essential for responsible energy transition.
Course content
This course consists of 120 credits of taught material delivered through eight core modules, followed by a 60-credit dissertation project. There are four common modules delivered to students on both routes, and four specialst modules for each route.

Project
In addition to the taught modules, you will complete a dissertation project which is worth a third of your final Master's grade (60 credits). This substantial individual project is designed to strengthen your academic and research skills, while allowing you to explore a specific area of renewable energy that reflects your interests and career goals. The project will be presented as a written dissertation, submitted at the end of the academic year.
