Energy Engineering, MEng (Hons)

The global energy crisis and accelerating climate change are driving the urgent transition to a Net Zero society. Our Energy Engineering programme, developed through strong industrial partnerships and expertise in renewable energy, equips students with essential knowledge and skills to address challenges in energy supply security and sustainable development. As global demands rise, this interdisciplinary course prepares you to innovate with existing and emerging technologies, navigating the vulnerabilities of interconnected renewable energy systems that now constitute 50% of production in many countries.You will gain insights into energy services, efficiency, environmental compliance, and sustainable technologies, supported by facilities and experts at our Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST), alongside core principles from mechanical, electrical, and sustainable manufacturing engineering. The first two years focus on foundational learning for potential industry placements or specialized pathways. Assessments combine coursework (30-50%) with exams, and project modules involve reports, demonstrations, and presentations to ready you for your career.
