The world’s increasing energy needs highlight the importance of energy and related technologies. Physicists have played a pivotal role in the development, storage, distribution, and usage of energy. This programme combines the key benefits of physics (problem solving, analysis, investigation, experimentation, modelling) with key energy engineering topics (Thermodynamics, Fluids, Energy Generation, Safety, Energy Distribution), to offer students the option of a Physics degree with an emphasis on energy engineering, without losing the core physics concepts.

The core Physics theme will allow the graduate to proceed into traditional physics careers. With the additional ‘energy science and technology’ background they will have excellent prospects for employment or research (at PhD level) in areas specialising in energy science.
