Sustainable energy technologies, a growing area and generation-defining challenge, are the focal point of this four-year Mechanical Engineering integrated masters course. Building on core Mechanical Engineering strengths at the University, this course provides in-depth training in emerging energy technologies such as wind turbines, solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells combined with a holistic view at societal aspect of energy, its distribution and use. You will study the latest in energy technologies and processes, including fuel cells, photovoltaics and biomass systems. You will also learn to examine the economics behind energy technology investments and develop your management skills. The first two years will be spent mastering mechanical engineering topics, following the same content as the MEng Mechanical Engineering. In your third and fourth year, you will specialise in topics of your choice. You will also participate in individual, group, and multidisciplinary projects. A wide variety of optional modules are available, including Bioenergy, Renewable Energy from Environmental Flows and Advanced Electrical Systems. During your studies you have the opportunity to spend time on industrial placement. You can spend one semester or one year on placement. There are also opportunities for work placements in the summer holidays of your second and third years.

Our students work as product development engineers, graduate mechanical engineers and renewables engineers. Some of their employers include Jaguar Land Rover, Ministry of Defence, Rolls-Royce and Siemens. We also provide you with a dedicated Employment Officer to help you build your skills profile and realise your career ambitions. You will benefit from our connections with local, national and international employers as well as the University Careers and Employability Service.
