MEng in Renewable Energy Engineering
Course Overview
The MEng in Renewable Energy Engineering is a UK Level 7 postgraduate degree, one year full-time or two years part-time. The programme runs across 1 year full-time / 2 years part-time and is focused on renewable energy engineering. The course equips practitioners in wind, solar, storage, grid integration, hydrogen and net-zero delivery at senior level, and it is designed for candidates who need a UK credential that carries clear weight with employers. The programme is aligned with Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), and it draws on the wider LSCE partnership with UK professional bodies including Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM). Teaching is structured around a small research-adjacent postgraduate cohort, with weekly tutor visibility, structured critique of student work and a named programme tutor throughout your studies.
By the time you complete the MEng in Renewable Energy Engineering, you will have produced a Level 7 dissertation or sponsor consulting project on a real problem, backed by structured research methods training. Assessment across the MEng in Renewable Energy Engineering blends coursework, applied artefacts and a closing Level 7 dissertation or sponsor consulting project, so you leave with evidence you can put in front of a UK employer or a professional-registration panel. Marks are moderated to UK Level 7 standards, and the course sits inside the LSCE ladder so credit transfer and articulation are considered from your first tutorial. Where relevant, the MEng in Renewable Energy Engineering also builds portfolio evidence toward professional-body membership and the Engineering Council or BCS chartership routes, and the wraparound English-language, careers and study-skills provision on the MEng in Renewable Energy Engineering remains available throughout your registered study period.
