Energy Engineering with a Year Abroad

Overview
As the demand for clean energy grows, so does the demand for energy engineering graduates. This course equips you with the skills, knowledge, and industrial connections you’ll need to tackle global energy challenges and shape the future of our society.

East Anglia is a significant region for energy engineering, and you’ll see the benefits of our connections with local industry from the very start of your four-year course. You’ll have access to an array of career pathways, alongside the option of further study. You can also choose to undertake a year in industry to boost your commercial awareness and graduate with first-hand industry experience.

You’ll study an integrated programme for the first year, providing a broad insight into the incredible potential of engineering. From year two, you’ll specialise in energy engineering, building theoretical knowledge and practical skills. You can also enrich your learning experience with optional modules in the Schools of Environmental Sciences or Computing Sciences, to become a truly interdisciplinary engineer. You’ll spend your third year studying abroad with one of our partner universities, developing lifelong skills like self-management, confidence, and intellectual flexibility. You’ll complete your studies at UEA with an individual project on a topic of your choice.

From the beginning of your course, you’ll have access to industry-standard facilities in Productivity East, including computer aided design (CAD) stations, 3D printers, subtractive manufacturing technology, and several collaborative robots. You’ll also be able to demonstrate your abilities to industry professionals through frequent events like our annual Select Partnership Scheme.

Studying energy engineering at UEA means you’ll graduate with a wide range of theoretical knowledge, practical experience and employability skills. As you transition into your career, you’ll be supported by our award-winning careers service for up to three years after graduation.
