Master of Science - Energy Engineering with Environmental Management

Engineering is the pursuit of solutions. Engineers are at the forefront of innovation and today’s engineers will define the next industrial revolution. UEA aims to equip students with the experience and intellectual flexibility they need to succeed throughout their studies and in their future career. 

UEA's mission is to guide students in the principles and theories of energy engineering, while also ensuring they are confident in dealing with clients and working collaboratively. Learners will be equipped with all the soft skills needed to thrive throughout the MSc Energy Engineering with Environmental Management course and in their professional life.   

Students will master fundamental energy and electrical engineering principles, alongside advanced and contemporary topics in renewable energies, low carbon technologies and conventional energy sources, including wind and wave, solar energy, nuclear energy, oil and gas.   

The MSc Energy Engineering with Environmental Management programme has been developed in collaboration with the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) and is accredited by the Energy Institute. It addresses a national and regional shortage of highly qualified energy engineering graduates. As a result, graduates of this programme are in high demand and many are already in key positions in the industrial energy sector. 

This Master's course offers constant opportunities to encounter practicing professional engineers in a variety of settings. Students will be able to build their own network during modules, at trade events, at local branch meetings and on project work.

Previous graduates are employed across the energy sector, including offshore operations with Seajacks, renewable energy and building services with REN Energy, remote oil rigs with ODE, photovoltaic installation with LightSource and energy storage with Connected Energy. Others have gone on to hold postgraduate positions with the environment agency or in civil engineering, risk assessment and insurance, to name just a few.
