Energy Engineering BEng (Hons)

The production and utilization of energy have been a key global issue for many decades and until recently the main focus has been to produce energy using fossil fuels purely for the economic development of nations, with little emphasis on environmental impact. Recently the outlook towards energy usage has changed. 

Governments and industries have realized that energy production and utilization have to be balanced by being more environmentally conscious and energy-efficient. Energy Engineering BEng/MEng (Hons) will address theoretical and practical aspects of energy production, storage, and utilization.

Duration Option:- Four years full-time with placement
