Course summary
Energy and Environmental Engineering is an important field that is helping to shape the future of how we use and produce energy. This field of study is crucial in exploring future energy sources and developing carbon reduction technology to reduce the negative impact on our planet; while ensuring we have energy security, and a reliable and constant supply of energy. To address some of our global environmental challenges, we need to focus on creating a more sustainable energy supply that uses clean energy technology and renewable energy, while meeting net zero targets. Both the UK Government and Senedd Cymru (Welsh Parliament) recognise the need for skilled engineers, managers and innovators in energy and environmental technology. This Energy and Environmental Engineering degree programme is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to succeed in this exciting sector. You will learn to analyse complex information, develop clear and logical arguments, and understand the complex web of environmental and sustainable issues. Our course not only provides theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that are relevant to real-world situations. The Energy and Environmental Engineering programme is perfect for those who are passionate about the environment and eager to contribute to a more sustainable future. This degree programme aims to equip you with the skills and knowledge to make a real difference. Whether it is through developing new clean energy technology or working on cutting-edge projects aimed at achieving net zero targets, you will be at the forefront of creating solutions for a sustainable world.
