Make a difference by studying sustainable energy
We’re leading innovations in renewable energy, but we need to do more – find out how you can make a difference by studying a masters
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals influence our research and your learning
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
If we are to meet our targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, then we need a diverse energy mix. That means not only on- and offshore wind, but also solar, tidal stream and wave energy. You can’t simply rely on one because environmental factors will dictate when they’re available."
Professor Deborah Greaves OBE FREng
Professor in Ocean Engineering
Our researchers are powering new thinking around sustainable wind, tidal and wave technologies to harness the ocean's energy
We are recognised as an innovative leader in higher education for sustainability, across teaching and learning, research and our University operations
