Renewable Energy Programme

Why Renewable Energy Engineering?Climate change has been described as the biggest challenge of our time and energy is a major source of the greenhouse gas emissions causing it. Renewable energy will play a vital role in transitioning the world from its present reliance on fossil fuels toward a sustainable energy system. You can be part of this exciting change by building your skills and knowledge in renewable energy resources and technologies, energy systems analysis including demand-side management, and in energy topics of personal interest.

Renewable Energy at UCThe Master of Engineering Studies (MEngSt) and Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering (PGCertEng) are Professional Development Programmes operated by the University of Canterbury College of Engineering.

The MEngSt is a one year masters aimed at graduates from a wide range of engineering backgrounds, with intakes in February and July.

With four core courses and a range of electives to choose from, the MEngSt degree is designed to be flexible to the needs of prospective students.

It is open to applications from graduates with a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours degree or equivalent or from graduates with a Bachelor of Science with Honours or equivalent with an appropriate Physics and Chemistry background.

Renewable Energy in New ZealandNew Zealand has a primary energy mix of approximately 40 percent renewables and 60 percent fossil fuels, making it an interesting country in which to study options for a transition to a more sustainable energy system. Over 80 percent of our electricity is presently produced from renewables which provides us with a good start. Researchers at UC are actively engaged in sustainable energy projects in Pacific Island nations and in South East Asia.
