Program Overview

Investment in alternative energies is at an all-time high, and that includes a strong industry focus on the next generation of engineers. Interaction with industry is a key component of this course, which opens significant career pathways and focuses on the sustainable future of energy production, usage and supply.  On this course you will apply your skills to increase efficiency and further develop sustainable sources of energy, building operations and manufacturing processes.

East Anglia is a significant region for energy engineering, and you’ll see the benefits of our connections with local industry from the very start of your three-year course. We place a strong emphasis on ‘soft skills’- building your network through, site visits and opportunities for short-term internships and placements facilitated by our SELECT interview scheme. Our close partnerships with major engineering companies encourages and promotes innovation and has shaped the design and delivery of the course.   

Our Energy Engineering courses are tailored to the sector and accredited by the Energy Institute. Graduates are highly employable, becoming the engineers the energy industry needs, immediately and for the future.   

Each of our engineering courses follows an integrated programme structure for the first year. This is designed to provide you with a broad insight into the incredible potential of Engineering as a discipline. In your second year you will focus more closely on Energy. You will have access to resources from UEA Schools like Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, so that your learning is limitless.   

This course is for those students with an interest in the sustainable future of energy production, usage and supply. As well as gaining a solid grounding in the foundations of engineering as a wider subject, you’ll be introduced to the specifics of the different energy engineering by practicing energy engineers and graduate as a highly employable and well connected individual.
