BEng ENERGY ENGINEERING
BENG ENERGY ENGINEERING
East Anglia is a significant region for energy engineering, and you’ll understand the benefits of our connections with local industry from the very start of your three-year course. You’ll get a taste of the many career paths energy engineering could open up to you through role-model meetings, site visits and opportunities for short-term internships and placements.
Our close partnerships with major engineering companies also enable us to support and encourage student innovation and the development of your networking skills. Both of which are critical to the sector and to ensuring we can deliver the engineers the energy industry needs today, and for the future.
All engineering courses within the School share an integrated programme structure during the first year to demonstrate the potential breadth of the discipline, after which you can elect to tailor the course or continue to pursue a broad-based approach. We work closely with other UEA Schools including Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, so that your learning is informed by a range of expertise.
About
As the demand for alternate energies grows, so does the demand for Energy Engineering graduates. This course is backed by the East of England Energy Group (EEEGr).
The course was established as a result of strong support from industry, and these connections have shaped the design and delivery of our programme. Its content is tightly linked to the skills the industry requires, plus you’ll benefit from generous contact with industry to enrich your learning experience.
As well as gaining a solid grounding in the foundations of engineering as a wider subject, you’ll be introduced to the specifics of the different energy engineering by practising energy engineers. So you’ll graduate expert in wind turbines, micro-hydro schemes, nuclear power, biofuels and more – and ready to pursue successful career in the sector.
