This MSc equips graduates of engineering and science degrees with the skills they need to join the rapidly growing offshore renewable energy industry, incorporating offshore wind, wave and tidal energy. You’ll learn how the disciplines of meteorology, aerodynamics, mechanical, control, electrical, structural and offshore engineering are utilised in multi-disciplinary teams to deliver a cost-effective offshore power station. Supervised and supported by members of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, you will also have the opportunity to undertake a substantial research project focused on an aspect of offshore renewable energy. Key features: • Be at the forefront of the rapidly growing field of offshore renewable energy at a time when such expertise is increasingly sought after. • Develop knowledge and confidence in the processes involved in the design, development, installation, operation and decommissioning of a cost-effective offshore power station. • Develop an understanding of the factors that affect the Levelized Cost of Energy delivered by an offshore power station. • Develop familiarity with industry standard software used in design. • Students in engineering, science and the arts have access to a range of specialist equipment and innovative laboratories in our new engineering and design facility. • Study at the University named eighth in the world – and best in the UK for the quality and impact of its research in Marine and Ocean Engineering in the Shanghai Ranking Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2019. • Benefit from our research team’s expertise – our staff achieved ratings of ‘world leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’ in the UK Government’s most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014). • Take advantage of the University of Plymouth’s leadership role in the Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy Hub. • Gain experience in the use of world leading facilities such as the COAST Lab test tanks as part of your taught programme and your research.
