Education / renewable energy statistics

Almost 13,000 students are studying courses related to renewable energy at Scotland's universities and colleges, the first survey of its kind has revealed.

More than a third (36%) of the 12,885 students are female, new research by industry body Scottish Renewables has shown.

Thirty one institutions, from Dumfriesshire to the Highlands, responded to a Freedom of Information request for the data.

A detailed breakdown of that data is available here.
