Course overview

As the demand for clean energy grows, so does the demand for energy engineering graduates. This course equips you with the skills, knowledge, and industrial connections you’ll need to tackle global energy challenges and shape the future of our society. 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 five-year course.

You’ll have access to an array of career pathways, alongside the option of further study. You’ll study an integrated programme for the first year, providing a broad insight into the incredible potential of engineering. From year two, you’ll specialise in energy engineering, building theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

You can also enrich your learning experience with optional modules in the Schools of Environmental Sciences or Computing Sciences, to become a truly interdisciplinary engineer. You’ll spend your third year in industry, applying your learning in a practical context, before returning to UEA to complete your studies. You’ll finish out your course with a multidisciplinary design project which you’ll complete to a real-life brief.

You’ll visit the site, develop designs, and present your work to professionals. Previous students have secured graduate employment based on their final-year project.
