As the importance of renewable energy has increased over recent years, more renewable energy degree courses have been added by UK university physics, engineering and other departments. Now it is possible to do a dedicated undergraduate and post graduate renewable energy degree made up of IT, electronics, mathematics, engineering, geology, and other natural and physical sciences. With practical project work looking at wind, solar, geothermal, wave, tidal, and hydro power, these degree courses are a fantastic introduction to the world of renewable energy.

Here are links to the websites of some of the courses currently available in UK universities:

University of Exeter - BSc Renewable Energy. Taught on the UoE's Cornwall Campus. In 2006 the UK's first ever renewable energy students graduated from this course.
