MEng ENERGY ENGINEERING
MENG ENERGY ENGINEERING
East Anglia is a major region for energy engineering, and you’ll feel the benefit of our connections with local industry right from the start of this four-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. 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.
This course is accredited by the Energy Institute.
About
Train to be a future leader of the energy sector. Wind turbines, nuclear power stations and biofuels are becoming increasingly widespread, and at UEA we aim to produce Energy Engineering graduates with the capacity and expertise to design and build them.
Our Masters course will help you understand the technological and digital developments that will shape the energy industry of the future. And you’ll be given integrated learning opportunities that often reflect a real industrial context from the outset, supporting the development of your soft and hard engineering knowledge and skill sets.
In your final year you’ll have the opportunity to put everything you’ve learned into practice through a major team-based project. You’ll be given a real brief to work from, and you’ll be encouraged to undertake site visits so that you can develop proposals, which you’ll then present to professional engineers.
