Energy Engineering, BEng (Hons), with study abroad

As the demand for clean energy increases, so does the need for skilled energy engineering graduates. This four-year course at UEA provides essential skills, knowledge, and industry connections to address global energy challenges and influence societal advancements. Located in energy-rich East Anglia, the program leverages local industry ties from the outset, offering diverse career pathways, further study options, and a year in industry for enhanced commercial experience. Students begin with an integrated engineering foundation in the first year, then specialize in energy engineering from year two, incorporating theoretical and practical training. Opportunities include optional modules in environmental or computing sciences for interdisciplinary expertise, a third-year abroad for personal development, and access to state-of-the-art facilities like CAD stations and 3D printers. The course culminates in a tailored individual project, preparing graduates with robust employability skills and ongoing career support for up to three years post-graduation.Modules comprise compulsory elements in year one, such as Engineering Studies and Mathematics for Scientists, building a strong base. In subsequent years, students engage in a mix of required modules like Analogue and Digital Electronics and electives such as Vibration and Dynamics or Meteorology and Global Environmental Change, alongside a final-year research project aligned with personal interests.
