Investing in You

In 2022, we spent part of a £2million investment from the Office for Students (OfS) on leading-edge teaching facilities in our Energy Academy, including:

  • Solar photovoltaic systems

  • Resources for sustainable building methods and retrofit

  • An electric vehicle and new EV charge points

  • A brand new wind turbine training nacelle

  • An autonomous inspection robot to support inspection of wind turbine towers and blades at height

  • Industrial drone to support inspection of wind turbine towers and blades at height

  • Subsea inspection ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) to support inspection of subsea wind structures


We have since been awarded a further £6million, and over the next three years we will be creating a dedicated Construction, Engineering and Energy Building, which will include three high-spec CAD/BIM suites.
