Why study Engineering with Renewable Technologies at York?

Develop the engineering skills to shape the future of energy. Build the knowledge and practical expertise needed to tackle current and future technological challenges, with specialist knowledge of renewable energy generation and power delivery. Group projects at this stage allow you to put into practice your learning to produce something tangible while improving your team working and communication skills.

Build a broad engineering foundation. Study electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering alongside materials and manufacturing, mathematics and modelling, sensors and control. You'll work as a project team to design, prototype, and validate a working embedded system. You'll demonstrate hands‑on engineering, collaborative problem‑solving, and industry‑ready technical depth, giving you a flagship piece of work that strengthens placement and graduate applications.

Specialise in renewable energy technologies. Develop your expertise in later years as you explore the role of engineering in renewable energy generation and power delivery. Tackle a complex, discipline‑aligned engineering problem and deliver a fully engineered solution that demonstrates advanced technical depth and confident command of industry‑standard tools.

Take your engineering knowledge further with an integrated Master's. Study for four years at York, building advanced technical knowledge and practical experience as you prepare for specialist careers in renewable energy and engineering.

Fantastic facilities

Specialised teaching spaces, laboratories, workshops and a range of other outstanding facilities.

Outstanding research

97% of our research rated the highest 3* and 4* in the Times Higher Education's ranking of the latest REF results (2021).

At the beginning of your course, you'll develop a solid foundation in mechanical, electrical and electronic principles and programming.

You'll take part in extensive laboratory sessions and hands-on project work, during which you'll have the chance to build an innovative medical device, a maze-solving robot and an autonomous vehicle for in situ water quality monitoring.

In the final two years of your course, you'll specialise in renewable energy and renewable energy technologies, including renewable power generation, photovoltaics, fuel cells, electric vehicles, and sustainability.

We offer all students free membership of the York Engineering Society (our student engineering society) and student membership of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) while you are at York.

The fees and funding information here is for students starting in the 2027/28 academic year.

If you take a year abroad or year in industry you'll pay a reduced rate of fees for that year.

Annual tuition fees

UK (home)

International and EU

The UK government has announced its intention to increase tuition fees from £9,790 to £10,050 for the 2027/8 academic year. We expect this to apply to new UK (home) undergraduate students starting their studies in September 2027.

Teaching format

Our courses are highly intensive. Your timetabled activities each week will include:

Lectures

Practical work (including projects every year)

Workshops and tutorials

Computer laboratories

Supervisions

You'll also be expected to spend time studying independently. As you progress through the course you'll take on more independent study, guiding your own learning and developing your project management skills.

An academic member of staff will help guide you through your final-year individual project, ensuring that you are able to combine the knowledge and skills you have learned throughout the course to successfully undertake an engineering project tailored to your interests and career goals.

In the UK, full-time students are expected to spend 1,200 hours a year learning. That's about 40 hours of classes and independent study each week during semesters. Everyone learns at a different rate, so the number of hours you spend on independent study will be different to other students on your course.

Facilities

You'll have access to laboratory space, recording studios, clean rooms, computing classrooms and the University’s JEOL Nanocentre. Explore our facilities.

Teaching location

You will be based in the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, on Campus West.

Most of your contact hours will be in the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, with some additional teaching on Campus West.

Assessment and feedback

Your assignments will be designed not just to test you but for you to creatively apply what you've learned, and to stretch you to supply novel solutions. We use a variety of assessment styles, including exams, coursework and practical engineering tasks. You'll encounter all of them during your course, but the exact balance will depend on the modules you choose:

Closed-book and open-book exams

Short technical reports

Electronic portfolios, including programming exercises, video reports or blogs

Presentations and demonstrations

Major technical reports

You'll receive written feedback on work you hand in to help you understand your grade and develop your skills. For your final-year individual project you'll produce a written report, have a viva (a presentation and question/answer session) and also show your project on our demo day, which our external advisory board attend.
