Best universities in Australia for Energy & Renewable Engineering

Energy and renewable engineering sits inside the broader engineering field. Four registered courses are available in this subject across four providers, so the choice of where to study is narrow. Study levels run from diploma through to master's degree. That spread matters if you are weighing a shorter qualification against a longer one. Four providers offer the subject. TAFE NSW Technical and Further Education Commission and TAFE NSW Higher Education are listed, alongside Federation University Australia, the University of Melbourne and the Australian National University. Check which level each one actually teaches before you apply, since not every provider will cover both the diploma and the master's. With only four courses on offer, it pays to look at each one directly rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
