About This Course

We’ve developed this MSc programme in partnership with industry and employers through close collaboration with the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) – aiming to address the national and regional shortage of high-calibre engineering graduates with specialist expertise in energy engineering. The breadth of our course could also lead to a career beyond the energy sector in other engineering disciplines.

This Master’s degree in energy engineering allows you to master fundamental energy and electrical engineering principles, alongside a range of options in renewable energy, nuclear energy and oil and gas engineering. Ultimately, you’ll recognise the long-term goal of renewable energy alongside the broader reality of a sustainable energy mix.

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 will be your dissertation, where you’ll have the chance to undertake the practical element whilst on placement within the energy sector.

Upon graduation, the experience and skills you will have gained throughout this highly specialised MSc will put you one step ahead of other graduates. There is a shortage of engineers in the energy sector, so graduates from our programme are in high demand among employers and many are already in key positions.

This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Energy Institute on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
