Course Overview

The production and utilisation of energy is a key global issue. Governments and industries are becoming increasingly aware of balancing energy production and utilisation with the need to be environmentally conscious and energy-efficient.

This course addresses energy production, storage and utilisation. Develop your understanding of the production and efficient use of conventional and renewable energy sources for power generation, and modern energy storage solutions, complemented with elements of energy economics. With us, you will develop a strong understanding of key principles in engineering, mechanics, electricals, and electronics. You will also explore more specialised modules including Energy for Transport Applications and Low Carbon Energy Technology.

You will have the opportunity to enhance your employability and gain industry experience by undertaking an optional work placement. Recent placements have taken place at major companies such as Cummins, Network Rail and Caterpillar. We also place a strong focus on employability through industry-relevant modules, covering topics such as policy and project management.

Graduates of this course go on to a vast range of careers in production, utilisation, energy storage and management, design, research and development, environment control and policymaking.

You can study Energy Engineering either as a three-year BEng (Hons) programme, or a four-year integrated Master’s MEng. At the end of year three, you have the option of graduating with a BEng (Hons) or continuing for a further year for a MEng, subject to meeting the progression requirements.
