HCI-Funded Sustainable Energy Courses
UCC Taught PG programmes in Sustainable Energy for applicants with ‘EU’ fee status
At UCC we have a suite of postgraduate options available to Sustainable Energy applicants. Some options can be applied to via the Springboard+/HCI platform who currently provide 90%/100% funding to EU applicants who meet their eligibility criteria.
See our HCI page for more information.
It is possible to build on each route from Microcredential to PG Certificate, PG Diploma and MEngSc in Sustainable Energy:
- Microcredential Offshore Wind & Ocean Energy Conversion (HCI funded)
- PG Cert Offshore Renewable Energy (HCI funded)
- PG Dip Energy Innovation for Zero Carbon (HCI funded)
- MEngSc Engineering – Sustainable Energy
