ENERGY is a key element in four new degree programmes just launched by Aberdeen University with a view to the first intake of students kicking-off their studies in September, 2009.
Degrees in Electronics and Photonics, Electronic Engineering with Oceanic Instrumentation, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering with Energy Studies and Electrical Engineering with Sustainable Energy have added to the university’s portfolio of energy programmes.
They have been constructed as a direct response to industry demand for skilled professionals within these rapidly growing industry areas.
The Mechanical and Electrical Engineering with Energy Studies and Electrical with Sustainable Energy degrees will focus on various aspects of the energy industry, including current mainstream energy production.
Renewable energy technologies will also be a key component of both degree programmes in recognition of the increasing prominence given in the industry to alternative fuel and energy sources.
Focusing on the skills required within the increasingly important area of ocean science, the degree in Electronics and Oceanic Instrumentation has been designed to meet the current and future demands of the oceanology and oil&gas sector, where greater emphasis is being placed on subsea exploration.
Equipping graduates for entry into the substantial UK and Scottish photonics industry, which plays a crucial role in sectors including communications, medical and defence, the Electronics with Photonics degree programme is available as either a five-year Master or four-year Batchelor degree.
