Engineering is the pursuit of solutions. Engineers are arguably the most significant shapers of society and will define the next industrial revolution. Your curiosity will be encouraged and enriched from the day you start the course, and you will leave here as graduates with a rich experience and the intellectual flexibility to succeed.    

Our School’s mission is to guide you in the principles and theories of energy engineering while also ensuring you are confident in dealing with clients and teamwork and have all the soft skills needed to thrive throughout your course and future career.   

This is where you will master fundamental energy and electrical engineering principles, alongside advanced and contemporary topics in renewable energies, low carbon technologies and conventional energy sources, including wind and wave, solar energy, nuclear energy, oil and gas.   

This MSc programme has been developed in collaboration with the East of England Energy Group and is accredited by the Energy Institute. The programme addresses a national and regional shortage of high-calibre qualified graduates in the field of Energy Engineering. Graduates from our programme are in high demand and many are already in key positions in the industrial energy sector.  

Throughout your course there will be many opportunities to mix with practising professional engineers during modules, at trade events, local branch meetings and on project work. Your most significant project might be industry-based, industry-led or an academic research project. Ultimately you’ll graduate with a deep understanding of the long-term goal of renewable energy alongside the broader reality of a sustainable energy mix.  

The course is delivered by the School of Engineering within the Faculty of Science – which houses an impressive base of engineering knowledge, particularly in the Schools of Mathematics, Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Computing Sciences and Chemistry. We are internationally renowned for our research and teaching in many relevant fields, including Energy Engineering, Energy Materials, Geophysical Sciences, Applied Mathematics and Computer Systems Engineering to name a few. The option in Environmental Assessment takes advantage of our links with the world-renowned School of Environmental Sciences.
