Course summary

Overview As the demand for clean energy grows, so does the demand for experienced Energy Engineering graduates who are ready to enter the industry and shape the future of our society. This course will help you understand the technological and digital developments that will shape the energy industry of the future. From the outset, you’ll be given integrated learning opportunities that often reflect a real industrial context, supporting the development of your soft and hard engineering knowledge and skills. This Energy Engineering course is backed by the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) and accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET). It was established in collaboration with major energy industries and their supply network. This course is shaped by our industry connections and tightly linked to the skills the energy industry requires. You’ll benefit from an impressive professional network that will enrich your learning experience from day one. . About This Course Investment in sustainable energy sources is at an all-time high, and that includes a strong industry focus on the next generation of engineers with the necessary skillset. 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’ll apply your skills to increase the efficiency of energy systems 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, guest lectures, and opportunities for short-term internships and placements, facilitated by our Select interview scheme. Our close partnerships with major local and national engineering companies encourage innovation and have shaped the design and delivery of the course. Our Energy Engineering courses are tailored to the energy sector, with an embedded focus on commercial awareness across the years. 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. From your second year, you’ll focus more closely on energy. You’ll be able to enrich and tailor your experience by choosing modules 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 energy engineering to become a highly employable and well-connected individual.
