About this course
**Overview**
As the demand for clean energy grows, so does the demand for experienced Energy Engineering graduates who are ready to enter the industry and shape the future of our society.
This course will help you understand the technological and digital developments that will shape the energy industry of the future. From the outset, you’ll be given integrated learning opportunities that often reflect a real industrial context, supporting the development of your soft and hard engineering knowledge and skills.
This Energy Engineering course is backed by the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR). It was established in collaboration with major energy industries and their supply network. This course is shaped by our industry connections and tightly linked to the skills the energy industry requires.
The course includes a Year Abroad which will give you an opportunity to capitalise on overseas experiences related to engineering while enhancing your world-view and promoting your personal development.
**About This Course**
Investment in sustainable energy sources is at an all-time high, and that includes a strong industry focus on the next generation of engineers with the necessary skillset. Interaction with industry is a key component of this course, which opens significant career pathways. East Anglia is a crucial region for energy, and you’ll see the benefits of our connections with local industry from the very start of your course.
We place a strong emphasis on ‘soft skills’ – building your network through site visits, guest lectures, and opportunities for short-term internships and placements, facilitated by our Select scheme. Our close partnerships with major local and national engineering companies encourage innovation and have shaped the design and delivery of the course.
Our Energy Engineering courses are tailored to the energy sector, with an embedded focus on commercial awareness across the years. 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. From your second year, you’ll focus more closely on energy. You’ll be able to enrich and tailor your experience by choosing your modules, so that your learning is limitless.
This course is for those students with an interest in the sustainable future of energy production, usage, and supply. As well as gaining a solid grounding in the foundations of engineering as a wider subject, you’ll be introduced to the specifics of energy engineering to become a highly employable and well-connected individual.
Thanks to the Year Abroad, you'll develop further your engineering skills within an international environment by being exposed to a different higher educational culture and acting as an ambassador for UEA. This will help you enhance your intellectual flexibility, self-management and life-long learning skills including time management, adaptability, confidence, independence, and enterprise.

Course details are subject to change. You should always confirm the details on the provider's website: **www.uea.ac.uk**
Modules
Year 1 is made up of compulsory modules that will provide you with a solid grounding in engineering. These modules include Engineering Studies, Engineering Principles and Law and Mathematics for Scientists. In your second and third year, 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 tailor to your own interests.
