Energy Engineering

The MSc Energy Engineering offered by the University of Hull will help you develop the skills and knowledge you need for a career in energy engineering, learning at a university located at the heart of the UK’s ‘energy estuary’. This Masters degree is designed to produce specialists with advanced skills in distinct areas of energy engineering.

With the MSc Energy Engineering offered at The University of Hull you’ll develop advanced energy engineering skills and knowledge at a university located at the heart of the UK’s energy estuary. A region that has long been a centre for energy production, storage and handling and is at the forefront of the country’s zero-carbon ambitions.

Taught by experts, you’ll gain thorough background knowledge of the energy industry – including economics, policy and impact assessment and a technical overview.

You’ll explore how to propose, design and develop solutions to energy engineering challenges. Gain the ability to critically analyse information and effectively run projects. And learn how to choose and apply suitable technology solutions, evaluating the socio-economic and green energy impacts.

Working with industry-standard software you’ll build your digital, design and analytical skills. And apply theory and practice to the analysis and solution of complex engineering problems through your own research project.

This interdisciplinary program is suitable for those with chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and other related backgrounds.
