Offshore Renewable Energy at University of Plymouth - UCAS

Course summary

The MSc Offshore Renewable Energy programme (MSc ORE) represents a name change of the 11 year old MSc Marine Renewable Energy programme. In contrast to the new engineering programme, it represents a broadening programme which takes advantage of UoP synergies between its strong marine sciences tradition and its reputation in offshore renewable energy research. Modifications to the existing programme include the change of title to the programme itself and 3 modules offered in the programme as well as a modified operational structure to represent the cooperative nature in which the ORE and OREE programmes will be operated.
