About the Course

Advance your career in the energy sector with the Graduate Certificate in Renewable Energy Engineering from the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC). This flexible postgraduate program is designed for working engineers and can be completed in as little as eight months full-time. It includes four key subjects from UniSC’s master’s curriculum and combines online delivery with on-campus intensive sessions.

Students gain advanced skills in renewable energy design, system integration, sustainability assessment, and lifecycle performance. The course also focuses on communication, ethical decision-making, and environmental accountability — preparing graduates to lead with confidence in technical and strategic roles.

Graduates may choose to continue into the master’s program, with completed credits reducing the number of subjects required to finish the degree.

To complete this program, you will need a completed four-year bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from a recognised higher education institution or equivalent.

You’ll tailor your certificate to your interest areas by choosing four courses from the Master of Renewable Energy Engineering curriculum, designed in consultation with industry professionals.

Courses to choose from:

  • Electrical Power Distribution Engineering 
  • Micro-grid and Energy Storage Systems 
  • Electrical Demand Forecasting and Management
