The International Centre for Island Technology (ICIT), Heriot-Watt University's Orkney Campus, is an established centre for excellence in the marine sciences, renewable energy and marine resource management We are ideally based in Orkney, a renewable energy-rich area with 550 miles of diverse coastal habitats. Our four established MSc programmes attract students from around the world. We design the renewable energy courses to produce highly qualified graduates who can fill the skills gap in the emerging renewable energy sector while the marine resource management programme provides graduates with a broad expertise in the management of marine and coastal resources. We continue to develop a strong research and consultancy portfolio, enjoying mutually productive links with industry, Government and other academic bodies at local, national and international levels. Based in Stromness in the Orkney Isands, we are part of Heriot-Watt University's School of Life Sciences. We teach MSc courses in Renewable Energy and Marine Resource Management and also carry out research in that field.
