Energy Engineering, BEng (Hons)

As the demand for clean energy rises, so does the need for skilled energy engineering graduates. This three-year course at UEA equips students with essential skills, knowledge, and industry connections to address global energy challenges and drive societal progress. Based in East Anglia, a key energy hub, the program offers early access to local industry links, diverse career pathways, further study options, and a potential year in industry to enhance commercial skills. The first year provides a broad engineering foundation, while subsequent years focus on energy specialisation, including theoretical and practical training, with interdisciplinary options from environmental or computing sciences.Students benefit from industry-standard facilities at Productivity East, such as CAD stations, 3D printers, and collaborative robots, plus opportunities to showcase abilities at events like the Select Partnership Scheme. The curriculum includes compulsory modules like Engineering Principles and optional ones like Meteorology, culminating in a tailored final-year research project. Graduates emerge with strong employability skills and up to three years of support from UEA's award-winning careers service.

Year 1 is made up of compulsory modules that will provide you with a solid grounding in engineering. These modules include Engineering Studies, Engineering Principles and Law and Mathematics for Scientists. In your second and third year, you will have a combination of compulsory modules - such as Analogue and Digital Electronics - and optional modules such as Vibration and Dynamics or Meteorology and Global Environmental Change. You will also complete an individual research project in your final year which you can tailor to your own interests.
