BENG ENERGY ENGINEERING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT at University of East Anglia UEA

East Anglia is a major region for energy engineering, and you’ll benefit from our connections with local industry right from the start of your three-year course. You’ll get a taste of the many career paths energy engineering could open up to you through role-model meetings, site visits and opportunities for short-term internships and placements. 

Our close partnerships with major engineering companies also enable us to support and encourage student innovation and the development of your networking skills. Past engagement activity has enabled our students to team with Vattenfall and local government organisations to explain the benefits of windpower to younger members of the public. These types of activities are critical to the sector and to ensuring that we can deliver the engineers the energy industry needs, as our students learn to communicate the benefits of renewable energy systems to wider groups. Ensuring support for the delivery of new energy technology in r the future delivered by our graduates. 

All engineering courses within the School share an integrated programme structure during the first year to demonstrate the breadth of the discipline. We work closely with other UEA Schools including Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, so your learning is informed by a range of expertise. 

ABOUT

As the demand for alternative energies grows, so does the demand for Energy Engineering graduates with specialist knowledge in environmental management. 

This course is backed by the East of England Energy Group (EEEGr) and accredited by the Energy Institute.It was established as a result of strong support from industry, and these connections have shaped the design and delivery of our programme. Its content is tightly linked to the skills the industry requires, plus you’ll benefit from generous industry contact to enrich your learning experiences. The Institute of Productivity within UEA’s School of Engineering is just one facility that will promote your contact with industry during your period of study. 

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 by practicing engineers. You’ll graduate confident in your knowledge of renewable energy generation – wind turbines, micro-hydro schemes, nuclear power, biofuels and more – and ready to pursue a successful career in the sector.
