Energy Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This four-year energy engineering course at UEA prepares graduates to address the rising demand for clean energy by providing essential skills, knowledge, and industry connections. Based in East Anglia, a key region for the field, students benefit from local partnerships, optional industry placements, and access to advanced facilities like CAD stations and 3D printers. The program begins with an integrated foundation in engineering and mathematics, then specializes in energy engineering with optional modules from environmental or computing sciences. Students complete a multidisciplinary design project based on real-world briefs, alongside an individual research project, enhancing practical skills and employability. Career support extends up to three years post-graduation, with course details subject to change—confirm on www.uea.ac.uk.

Year 1 is made up of compulsory modules which will provide you with a solid grounding in mathematics and engineering. These modules include Engineering Studies, Engineering Principles and Law and Mathematics for Scientists. As your studies progress, you will develop knowledge of general, Mechanical or Electronic and Electrical engineering. In Years 2 and 3, 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 be based on your own engineering interests. In your final year, you will complete a major design project with students from a variety of disciplines where you will work as part of a team. This will give you the opportunity to put what you have learnt into practice.
