Energy Engineering BEng(Hons)

The energy industry generates and distributes electrical power on a large scale, and there is a growing need to improve how we all use energy in our daily lives, to reduce our impact on the environment. Identifying renewable and sustainable energy sources is vital to preserving the world we live in, and finding new ways of generating energy is a challenge for society now, and in the future. If you want to have an impact and be at the forefront of this fast-paced industry, this STEM course can help you understand the issues and develop your skills and understanding to help change the world we live in. We aim to give you a thorough understanding of both electrical and mechanical principles. Not only that, but we will also look at the commercial side of the industry to help develop your business acumen. You could develop skills in a range of power generation technologies, including: Solar Wind Tidal Nuclear Traditional fossil fuels. Youll explore aspects of the energy industry, centered on large-scale electrical power generation and distribution while assessing the effective use of power by the consumer, microgeneration schemes, and combined heat and power systems. On top of this, we have excellent facilities for practical work, including our own wind and solar power facility, and you have the option to choose which facilities you want to work with and focus on, in your final year project work.
