课程特征 Course Features：
This course aims to produce postgraduates that exhibit:
•understanding and awareness of the political framework, policy, planning, technological and scientific issues surrounding and at the limits of knowledge of the marine renewable energy sector
•conceptual abilities to contribute to the development and critical evaluation of specific marine renewable energy technologies
•the skills necessary to assess the environmental impact of marine renewable technologies and to manage the associated planning requirements
•employability skills of direct relevance to the marine renewable energy industries and research organisations also comprising a commitment to their continuing professional development
•the necessary high level skill set to pursue further academic research or scholarship in marine renewable energy
课程内容 Course Content ：
The taught modules in the first period are compulsory and are designed to provide a firm basis for the option modules in period two.
Period 1
Students take four modules that provide a broad background in marine renewable energy: introduction to marine renewable energy; economics, law and policy for marine renewable energy, research skills and research methods.
Period 2
Three options from a choice of five: coastal impacts; marine planning; economics of the marine environment; mechanics of marine renewable energy structures; wave and current modelling for marine renewable energy.
Period 3 (18 weeks)
Research project and dissertation. Due to the extensive staff research expertise there is a wide range of potential projects spanning marine science, engineering and socio-economics. Students may also carry our projects with external organisations that have interests in marine renewable energy.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
