Renewable energy capacity grows faster than any other source — engineers must integrate intermittent generation into reliable grids. This MSc covers photovoltaic and wind system design, energy storage, grid codes, and project finance basics. Labs use simulation tools for resource assessment and yield prediction. Graduates work for utilities, developers, consultancies, and government energy departments.
Faculty spotlight
Dr. Yuki Tanaka leads grid integration research; Professor Marcus Chen manages offshore wind feasibility projects for Scottish waters.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 24 months. Teaching language: English. Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. African Future University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
