About Energy Engineering, MEng - at De Montfort University

The production and utilisation of energy is a key global issue. Governments and industry are becoming increasingly aware of balancing energy production and utilisation with the need to be environmentally conscious and energy efficient.

This course addresses energy production, storage and utilisation. Develop your understanding of the production and efficient use of conventional and renewable energy sources for power generation, and modern energy storage solutions, complemented with elements of energy economics. You will gain a strong understanding of key principles in engineering, mechanics, electricals and electronics, and explore specialist topics in final year modules such as Nuclear, Renewable and Smart Energy Solutions and Data Analytics for Sustainable Energy Systems.

You will have the opportunity to gain industry experience by undertaking an optional work placement. Recent placements have taken place at companies such as Cummins, Network Rail and Caterpillar. We also place a strong focus on employability through industry relevant modules, including Design and Project Management and Energy Economics, Policy and the Environment.

Graduates of this course can go on to a vast range of careers in production, utilisation, energy storage and management, design, research and development, environment control and policy making.

You can study Energy Engineering either as a three-year BEng (Hons) programme, or as a four-year integrated master’s. At the end of year three, you have the option of graduating with a BEng or continuing your studies for a further year for a MEng, subject to meeting the progression requirements.

Key features:

Benefit from dual accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). This will help you start your journey towards becoming a Chartered Engineer.
DMU has been ranked by The Times Higher Education World University Rankings as being in the top 301-400 of worldwide universities for engineering and technology.
Access our hi-tech sustainable Energy Laboratory, equipped with industry-standard software, and work with facilities commonly used in the energy engineering sector, such as a working smart kitchen, a Smart Grid and Renewable Energy training toolkit, and a demonstration heat pump system.
Develop your specialist skills and meet like-minded students by joining student societies such as Formula Student, Electronics Club and DMU Flyers. You will also have the opportunity to take part in the annual Engineering without Borders UK competition, where you can apply your knowledge of energy engineering and project management to propose a design solution for a real problem in a developing country.
Enhance your employability by undertaking an optional work placement. DMU Engineering students have undertaken placements at companies including Cummins, Network Rail and Caterpillar.
Prepare for a career in the production, utilisation, storage and management of energy, as well as roles in design, research and development, environment control and policy-making in the energy sector.
Benefit from Education 2030, where a simplified ‘block learning’ timetable means you will study one subject at a time and have more time to engage with your learning, receive faster feedback and enjoy a better study-life balance.
