在资源压力空前的时代，能源工程对于应对世界上一些最大的挑战至关重要，即如何满足全球不断增长的人口的电力，供暖和运输能源需求，同时通过创新，可持续的方式减少人类对气候的影响工程解决方案。通过课程前两年涵盖的坚实工程基础知识（例如热力学，流体和电气系统）和后两年涵盖的高级能源工程主题（包括电力电子，控制系统，风能，太阳能光伏发电和海洋能源，能源需求管理和能源政策），能源工程课程的毕业生将有足够的能力来采购，设计，转换，传输和供应有用的能源，以满足世界目前和长期的需求。
The first year of the BE is a broad education in engineering fundamentals. At the end of the first year, you can choose to enter Energy Engineering. Your chosen area of specialization in the second year will also offer routes to further branches of engineering at the Masters level. At the end of a successful 3rd year, students enter the 4th year, which is a pathway to either the 5th Year Integrated ME for eligible students or exiting with a BE(Hons). The ME pathway finishes with a Professional Work Placement that takes place during the 2nd semester and the summer break (8 months).<br><br>In an era of unprecedented pressure on resources, energy engineering is crucial to address some of the world's greatest challenges, namely how to meet the electricity, heating and transport energy needs of the world's growing population while reducing human impact on the climate with innovative, sustainable engineering solutions.
