Renewable and Subsea Engineering
Train in our purpose-built Energy Academy using industry-standard equipment, including a working wind turbine. Developed with leading partners, our Energy degrees give you real experience and the technical skills needed for a successful career in the energy sector.
ABOUT THE SUBJECT
If you’re a technical and methodical thinker with a passion for the energy sector, our Energy degrees will help you build the foundation for a successful career. Developed in collaboration with key industry partners — including Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Royal IHC, Subsea North East and Port Training Services — our programmes allow you to experience energy engineering in a real working environment.
Based at our purpose-built Energy Academy, you’ll train using industry-standard facilities, including a fully operational wind turbine, while developing your knowledge of design, subsea equipment, hydraulics, electrics, mechanics, and maintenance. With hands-on learning and strong industry links, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to thrive in this fast-growing sector.

In 2022, we spent part of a £2million investment from the Office for Students (OfS) on leading-edge teaching facilities in our Energy Academy, including:
-
Solar photovoltaic systems
-
Resources for sustainable building methods and retrofit
-
An electric vehicle and new EV charge points
-
A brand new wind turbine training nacelle
-
An autonomous inspection robot to support inspection of wind turbine towers and blades at height
-
Industrial drone to support inspection of wind turbine towers and blades at height
-
Subsea inspection ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) to support inspection of subsea wind structures
We have since been awarded a further £6million, and over the next three years we will be creating a dedicated Construction, Engineering and Energy Building, which will include three high-spec CAD/BIM suites.
