Sustainable Energy Science is a broad topic. As well as traditional aspects of sustainable energy such as wind, solar and water power you will also study subjects such as bioenergy, the hydrogen economy, and renewable heat. These subjects are supported by a program of energy labs that progress through each year of your degree before you undertake a practical research project of your choice in your final year, under the supervision of an academic member of staff.
