Physicists have played a pivotal role in the development, storage, distribution, and usage of energy. This programme combines the key benefits of physics (problem solving, analysis, investigation, experimentation, modelling) with key energy engineering topics (Thermodynamics, Energy Generation, Safety, Energy Distribution), to offer students the option of a Physics degree with an emphasis on energy engineering, without losing the core Physics concepts.AccreditationAccredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.   Show key dataProgramme contentYear 1 Gives a strong foundation in physics, mathematics and principles of mechanical and electrical engineering. Experimental and computer skills are developed through the practical 'Investigative Techniques' course.
