Civil Engineering with Marine Renewable Energy

Civil Engineering with Marine Renewable Energy is offered by University of Dundee . This consists of a wide range of projects such as roads, bridges, buildings and water supply systems. Marine renewable energy is the process of harnessing power from ocean resources, like tides, waves, and currents. It provides sustainable, clean electricity by capturing the energy generated by natural movements in the sea.

Key facts

• The interdisciplinary nature of this course equips you with the skills to address the complex engineering issues at the intersection of civil engineering and marine renewable energy.

• This specialised course will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by marine renewable energy, covering topics such as offshore wind farms, tidal and wave energy, and sustainable marine infrastructure.

• In Semester 1 you will work on modules specific to marine renewable energy, alongside some optional or conversion modules. In Semester 2, you will focus on the core Civil Engineering modules and any remaining optional or conversion modules.

• Finally, you will also complete an individual research project. This will be associated with an aspect of marine renewable energy.
