EngD Offshore Renewable Energy

OverviewInternationally-leading joint EngD with IDCORE aiming to meet the UK’s ambitious deployment targets for offshore renewable energy technologies.Delivers postgraduate-level technical and transferable skills training at three leading UK universities in the renewable energy research field together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HRWallingford.Vibrant learning environment delivering world-class industrially-focused research outcomes that will accelerate the deployment of offshore wind, wave and tidal-current technologies.Producing highly trained scientists and engineers, with the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle current and future offshore renewable energy challenges.Reinforcing and supporting the UK’s conjoined infrastructure, which begins in the best academic research centres with leading test facilities and extends through a unique combination of demonstration facilities, ultimately to test and deployment sites.CareersDuring the EngD programme, students will be undertaking a project that tackles a genuine commercial problem in a real-world environment. This kind of broad training, alongside the development of research and commercial skills, will make EngD students extremely employable.Research Engineers will spend 75% of the time throughout their project in industry, thereby developing successful networks and contacts for future employment.

Applicants should have, or expect to receive a first class honours degree or an international equivalent. Students with an upper second class degree and a subsequent MSc degree will also be considered. It is expected that candidates will have a good understanding of one or more branches of science or engineering and at least some relevant research experience.
