What are the best universities to study renewable energy in the UK?
I'm considering business or renewable energy. I've heard Wrexham is good. I contacted Wrexham to inform them I have begun designing a CSP that can operate 24/7 without batteries and without sunlight.
My concern is I like innovating across multiple domains, not just energy, and I feel like I would be pigeonholing myself.
Renewable energy is easy and fun, but I like throwing my hand at various things. Are you allowed to write papers in other areas while studying renewables or business, because I enjoy extreme lean logistics, blockchain oracles, designing systems, identifying untapped blue-chip streams and wildlife products.
Any positive feedback is appreciated 👍

Do you NEED to go to uni to study this an get a job at the end of it?
Renewables is pretty innovative at the moment – why not go for an apprenticeship at one of them like that geothermal plant in Cornwall? Or at the very least start off being a solar installer. You would learn loads.
Plus you’d have a 3-4 year head start earning money. Or is it 100% necessary to get into £50,000 of debt to get a degree in it?
I personally like renewables and mess around with microcontrollers, mini solar panels, batteries, micro inverters, off grid setups at home. Just learning about that and studying is basically free or a few ££s in books. That has huge value to an employer if you can show them.
