Course summary

This four-year degree gives you the scientific and technical foundation to understand, design and manage cleaner and more efficient energy systems. As we transition to a greener economy, you will learn how to investigate and propose new systems using renewable and sustainable resources operating within regulatory frameworks.

Build towards a sustainable future with our Energy and Sustainability Engineering degree, focusing on energy technologies, policy and regulations, and energy supply and demand.

We will equip you with the skills and knowledge to take a multidisciplinary approach to tackling the challenges of sustainable development, and access to clean and affordable energy.

Over three years, we will build and align your skills with innovative and sustainable solutions to current and future problems in energy systems.

Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate your expertise to future employers, while a fourth year at master's level helps you transition to professional practice.

  • Learn to understand and analyse the broad context of energy and sustainability engineering, involving major issues with the energy system and potential routes forward

  • Benefit from exceptional industry involvement in the degree, including projects set by respected industry professionals and guest lectures from practising energy experts

  • Study in world-leading research facilities where new engineering systems are designed, developed and implemented for industry

  • Take an optional placement year, or divide your placement over two summer periods, using our research strengths and links with industry to boost your employability

As an Energy and Sustainability Engineering graduate, you will be equipped with a valuable blend of skills and knowledge that is demanded across the world.

Your ability to evaluate and develop relevant sustainable energy engineering technologies will empower your career from the start. The outstanding global reputation of City St George's for engineering, which has been built over more than a century, will also boost your prospects.

You will be well positioned for analytical or developmental positions in energy firms, engineering consultancies, and renewable energy companies.

We have every expectation that these degrees will receive full accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Energy Institute, providing a path for you to gain Chartered Engineering status.
