MSc Renewable Energy, Enterprise & Management

Accredited for Member status by the Energy Institute (MEI).

First delivered in 2008, the MSc in Renewable Energy, Enterprise and Management (REEM) provides fully integrated renewable energy management and enterprise training in order to deliver a broad view of the renewable energy industry. It is designed to be highly flexible, allowing postgraduate students to study renewable energy and business enterprise subjects either full-time or part-time, and to study whilst remaining in full-time employment. Students on this programme will learn how to start up and develop a business in the Renewable Energy sector, with the opportunity to trade.

MSc, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate may be achieved, and all modules are available as stand alone Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules. The modules are delivered by a range of Schools within the Faculty of Science Agriculture & Engineering, together with the Careers Service and external industrial experts.

Each module is delivered by a combination of distance learning materials (available on a web-based IT system) and short intensive schools. It is possible to join this programme at several points throughout the year.
