Offshore renewable energy
Postgraduate study in offshore wind, wave and tidal energy
Why offshore renewable energy? Why Â鶹Æƽâ°æ?
-
@Globally, investment of £2.5 trillion is predicted for the wind energy sector between 2017 and 2040 (Offshore Wind Industry Prospectus)
-
@In the UK alone, employment in the offshore wind sector is predicted to increase from 10,000 jobs in 2017 to 36,000 by 2032
-
@In the UK, the tidal stream and wave industry have been predicted to support 4000 jobs by 2030 and 8100 jobs by 2040 respectively
-
@Study with our offshore renewable energy experts at the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ, an international leader in ORE research
-
@The Â鶹Æƽâ°æ is ranked 8th worldwide in the field of Marine and Ocean Engineering in the 2019 Shanghai Rankings
-
@Take advantage of the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ’s extensive relationships with the ORE industry
Offshore renewable energy (ORE) is a key strategy for achieving the transition from carbon emitting fossil fuels to clean low carbon renewable sources.
The main sources from which energy is captured in ORE are offshore wind, waves and tidal currents.
At the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ we offer an MSc programme to support graduates ambitions to work within the offshore renewable energy sector.
Our programme focuses on preparing the personnel who will design, develop, operate, and regulate the technology that will convert energy from these natural elements into usable power for our communities.
The MSc Offshore Renewable Energy programme is a broadening programme designed to provide applicants of a wide range of backgrounds with a broad understanding of the ORE field and prepare them for careers in ORE project development, environmental consultancy, and industrial development and regulation.

The COAST Laboratory
The COAST (Coastal, Ocean And Sediment Transport) laboratory provides physical model testing with combined waves, currents and wind, offered at scales appropriate for device testing, array testing, environmental modelling and coastal engineering.
This is a flexible facility with the capability to generate short and long-crested waves in combination with currents at any relative direction, sediment dynamics, tidal effects and wind.
The facility is closely aligned with the COAST Engineering Research Group.
