• Our staff are world leaders in ocean renewable energy research, have written “the” textbook on the subject, and are at the forefront of commercial and R&D developments in the sector, leading major research projects and providing leadership in many of the top conferences in the world.
• We operate a shelf sea research vessel that is used extensively in teaching, research, and R&D to quantify the ocean energy resource around the Welsh coast. You will use many hands-on real-life datasets and have the opportunity to participate in teaching and research cruises, deploying a range of state-of-the-art instrumentation.
• We host a coastal observatory that feeds real time information that can be used for monitoring the ocean energy resource.
• We have access to supercomputing facilities that you can use, in combination with collected data, to simulate the ocean energy resource in detail over long time periods.

This is a high-tech global industry, and career opportunities are extensive. As well as having the opportunity to work directly for an ocean energy developer, you could work for a metocean consultancy developing models and observing the resource in situ, offshore survey companies, governmental and non-governmental environmental bodies such as the Environment Agency who are concerned about impacts of ocean energy, the Met Office, and related sectors such as offshore wind.
