MEng Energy Engineering
About this course
MEng in Energy Engineering, an engineering degree focused on the generation, conversion and management of energy systems. Core topics include Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, and Engineering Design. The course includes a multidisciplinary design project completed to a real-life brief. The first year covers core fundamentals through compulsory modules such as Engineering Design and Practice, Engineering Principles and Analysis, and Mathematical Methods for Science and Engineering. The second year introduces specialisation in energy engineering with compulsory studies in Renewable Energy, Analogue and Digital Electronics, Further Mathematical Methods for Science and Engineering, Engineering Design Project, and Structures and Materials, alongside optional modules including Thermofluids Analysis and Design. The third year centres on the Engineering Major Project and offers optional studies in areas such as Nuclear Engineering and Technology, Solar Energy Engineering, and Power Systems Engineering. The final year involves an Engineering Group Project alongside advanced optional modules including Advanced Computational Methods, Energy Infrastructure Engineering, and Fluids Engineering for Renewable Energy.
