Master of Renewable and Future Energy
The University of Western Australia (UWA)
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00126G
Recent advances in renewable energy technologies is driving the energy industry to transition, both on a national and global scale. This includes new and exciting job opportunities. The Master of Renewable and Future Energy (MRFE), solves a critical need to provide engineering professionals with relevant renewable energy skills for a ripe market. Renewable energy expertise cuts across many disciplines, including; marine renewable, biomass, geothermal, photovoltaics, electrical vehicles, as well as microgrids. Supporting this research is a growing trend in the adoption of renewables in WA for remote and small communities, especially in microgrid and smart-grid technology. Learn from world leading experts and specialists who provide further insight into the future development of the energy sector and lead course innovation. MRFE students will also have access to a vast range of opportunities to network with industry, develop professional skills and connect with a dynamic cohort of students from around the world.
