As the importance of renewable energy has increased over recent years, more renewable energy degree courses have been added by UK university physics, engineering and other departments. Now it is possible to do a dedicated undergraduate and post graduate renewable energy degree made up of IT, electronics, mathematics, engineering, geology, and other natural and physical sciences and/or as a joint-honours progamme with electronic engineering, engineering, and mechanical engineering.
With practical project work looking at wind, solar, geothermal, wave, tidal, and hydro power, these degree courses are a fantastic introduction to the world ofrenewable energy and should help their graduates find jobs in renewable energy.
Below are a list links to the websites of some of the courses currently available in UK universities (last updated 16th January 2009). University websites are the worst for constantly moving files around resulting in dead links. If you find any of the links below are dead, please email neil@reuk.co.uk. Similarly, if you know of any other UK university RE courses which we have missed here, please let us know.

Why Would You Want To Pay For Energy When Other People Save $1,000s A Year? — SOLARGOOGLE.COM
Solar panels really are a good idea and having them installed has saved my family thousands of dollars.
The range of renewable energy degree courses has further increased this semester at UK universities. Despite universities reducing the number of general courses on offer there has been a proportional increase in green energy courses over the same time frame. This can only be a good thing.
Thank you for your post, i loved looking at it. I don’t agree with it all however it was a nice submit.
Very good morning, could be seriously is off of concept yet , no matter what, i have already been hunting within your internet sites as nicely as aesthetics definitely surely elegant.
