Highlights Queensland’s target of 80 per cent renewable energy by 2035 forecasts 100,000 new jobs in the renewable engineering sector, making now a pivotal time to upskill in renewable technology and skills (Queensland State Government, Department of Energy and Public Works). Learn in dedicated renewable energy labs and use purpose-built software to work on real-time power simulations. Deepen your engineering knowledge by learning the technologies to lead the future of sustainable energy and renewable power generation systems such as wind, solar, hydro, wave and tidal. Complete a real-world project alongside our industry partners such as Energy Queensland and Powerlink, on renewable energy system design and performance, energy storage, energy efficient transport, climate change risk assessments, carbon neutral strategies and more. The climate-positive Olympic Games in Brisbane 2032 will trigger a 10-year pipeline of sustainable engineering projects and investment in renewable energies to ensure carbon reductions and climate positive legacies. Why choose this course? Engineers with skills in renewable and sustainable energy systems are in high demand, with more than 100,000 new renewable power jobs in the pipeline to achieve Queensland’s 80 per cent renewable energy target by 2035. Now is a pivotal time making to upskill in renewable and sustainable energy systems, sustainable energy policy and carbon management. In this course, you’ll gain the ability to manage entire renewable projects including management, regulatory contexts and finance. You will learn about energy storage, how to analyse and design microgrids, energy policy and energy forecasting. You will work alongside industry consultants and academic experts who are leaders in renewable energy system design and performance, energy storage, energy efficient transport, Smart Cities, climate change risk assessments, and carbon neutral strategies. Careers and outcomes Graduating with a Master of Renewable Energy will give you engineering expertise that is in high demand for an array of careers ranging from renewable energy systems design and project management, through to energy and carbon policy and carbon management.

About

QUT was named as the top young university in the state of Queensland and 18th in the QS Top Universities Rankings for universities under 50 years old in 2018. With award-winning teaching staff, recognised by receiving 100 Australian Awards for University Teaching, it is easy to see why QUT has rapidly become a leading institution ‘Down Under’.
Known as a real-world university, QUT provides expansive industry links and courses designed to work in the field to which they relate with input from industry experts. Students get the chance to undertake work experience on real projects and are able to leave QUT with relevant, up-to-date skills to directly impact their working lives.
Based across two campuses – Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove – QUT enrols almost 50,000 students each year with nearly 8,000 international students. Students are spread across six schools – QUT Business School, Creative Industries, Education, Health, Law and Science and Engineering.
QUT has been the subject of significant investment in recent years to create state-of-the-art learning facilities, including an AUD230 million Science and Engineering Centre, a new AUD76.7 million Education Precinct which opened this year and an AUD80 million Creative Industries Precinct including recording facilities, galleries and editing suites.
The university offers a vibrant campus with over 100 student clubs and societies across a range of activities, whilst free workshops are put on to help students build their skills. A wide range of support services help international students with anything they may need and make QUT a friendly and exciting place to study.
