MEng Energy Engineering

About

As investment in new energy sources like wind, solar, nuclear and biofuels increases, so does the need for highly qualified energy engineers. This integrated master’s programme opens up a significant range of career pathways, focusing on the sustainable future of energy production, usage, and supply. 

East Anglia is a major hub for the UK energy sector, giving you a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of potential career paths during your studies. For example, in previous years, students have enjoyed site visits to wind-farm installations and operation sites as well as the Sizewell nuclear plant. All engineering courses at UEA benefit from this close connection to local industry and this course has been designed and delivered in line with industry needs. Our close partnerships with major engineering companies enable us to support and encourage skills that are critical to the sector, like innovation and networking skills. Graduates of this course are the engineers the energy industry needs, right now and in the long term.  

Each of our engineering courses follows an integrated programme structure for the first year. This is designed to provide you with a broad insight into the incredible potential of engineering as a discipline. From your second year onwards, you will focus more closely on energy. You will be able to enrich your experience and tailor your degree to your own interests by choosing modules from other UEA Schools like Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, so that your learning is limitless.
