This course is designed to train physical science and engineering graduates to develop new photovoltaic devices and test their effectiveness as a global energy resource. It is based on more than 20 years of solar research at the University of Sheffield, and spans fundamental materials science through to PV system deployment.
Laboratory training in materials science will teach you how to characterise and test solar cell materials, leading to the fabrication and measurement of photovoltaic devices. You'll learn how to analyse and assess the performance of photovoltaic systems by working with the team behind Sheffield Solar - they run the UK's largest PV database and our rooftop solar testbed facility
An expert from one of these areas will work with you on a major research project, and with our dedicated enterprise training and links with industry, you'll become equipped for a range of roles in solar energy.
