Gilmorehill Campus

Content

Year 1
Build core engineering foundations through a shared curriculum covering mathematics, dynamics, materials, and thermodynamics. You’ll also develop practical skills in electronics, manufacturing, and engineering design, preparing you to analyse energy systems and low-carbon technologies.

Year 2
Develop essential knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, and power electronics, supported by engineering mathematics and hands-on application. You’ll be introduced to renewable energy systems, sustainability, and civil engineering concepts such as geology and surveying.

Year 3
Advance your expertise in energy systems engineering, including control, heat transfer, and power engineering. You’ll apply simulation, instrumentation, and data analysis in design-focused projects, culminating in an integrated team project tackling real-world energy challenges.

Year 4
Undertake advanced study in energy engineering, combining a substantial individual research project with optional modules in areas such as power systems, thermofluids, environmental engineering, and emerging technologies including artificial intelligence and optimisation.
