Course programme

The course focuses on learning engineering principles and practices, as well as computing skills and principles of design, relating to a wide range of energy systems. You’ll also learn methods of applying energy-efficiency in design, to engineering practices, to create more environmentally-friendly forms of industrial design and manufacture. This course has Incorporated Engineer accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Honours degree has partial Chartered Engineer accreditation. It is also accredited by the Energy Institute. What you'll study Year 1 Computational Thinking and Practice Foundation Mathematics Mechanical Principles Electrical and Electronic Principles Engineering Communication Mathematical Methods 1 Year 2 Management for Engineers 1 Engineering Design and CAD Mathematical Methods 2 Materials and Manufacture Mechanics and Thermofluids Control, Measurement and Instrumentation Year 3 Renewable Energy and Sustainability Materials and Manufacture 2 Management for Engineers 2 Energy Systems Design Engineering Applications (Mechanical); Engineering Design (Honours) or Individual Project (Degree) Year 4 Honours Project Building Services Engineering A Advanced Energy Systems 1 Building Services Engineering B Advanced Energy Systems 2 Work placement: You are encouraged to take an optional industrial placement in addition to taught modules. Though this is non-credited, our placements team will support you to find placement opportunities. Study modules mentioned above are indicative only. Some changes may occur between now and the time that you study. You can view a list of all current modules in our module catalogue.

Additional information

Carbon reduction is a hot topic. You’ll be well placed to take on an analytical or developmental position across: energy production companies engineering consultancies / utilities small business (breweries / distilleries etc) renewable energy companies In addition, energy engineers are in demand in the building services design sector, helping clients to create more energy efficient homes, offices and factories. You may also have the opportunity to continue on to further study at Masters and PhD level.
