Since the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, there has been a rapid increase in renewable energy projects worldwide, including a renewables boom in Australia. In this degree, you’ll look at different renewable energy systems and apply your thinking to help address global energy challenges.

You’ll learn how to design, analyse, plan, commission and test a wide range of renewable energy systems, including photovoltaic, wind, hydro, biomass and solar thermal.

A final honours year is embedded in this degree, meaning you’ll be able to apply everything you learn in your first three years of study.

If you’re unable to gain entry into this course, you can apply for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology and transfer across to this engineering major at the end of your first year of study.
