YOUR

OPTIONS

All our engineering courses have a

common first year so you can get to

know the subject before focusing on

either energy, mechanical, electronic

and electrical, or maintaining a

multidisciplinary approach.

Choose our degree in Energy

Engineering with Environmental

Management and use that

combination to follow a career in

energy management. You’ll graduate

with the skills needed to enter a

sector that’s currently experiencing

phenomenal growth, with huge

demand for highly skilled graduates

to fill thousands of jobs.

FIND OUT MORE AT

www.uea.ac.uk/eng/courses

The integration of electronic and

mechanical engineering within a

broad course opens many doors that

a single discipline degree may not.

Control systems are used throughout

industry and those who understand

them are much sought after.

Across all our programmes you’ll have

the chance to study many different

aspects of engineering, including

design, project management,

environment and ethics, mathematics

and communication.

BECOME A GREAT ENGINEER

Whatever pathway you choose, you’ll leave UEA a highly-qualified engineer

with the skills, experience and contacts you need to go on to a successful

career. Our programmes are carefully designed to help you make that leap

from study to work. During your studies you’ll enjoy regular site visits, receive

guest lectures from professional engineers and get the chance to attain

placements and funding from major companies.

YOUR

CAREER

In your first year you’ll have the chance to

secure a funded summer placement through our SELECT sponsorship scheme. In the second year you’ll also have the opportunity to take a 10-week placement. In fact, throughout your course, you’ll be spoilt for choice when applying for work placements. That’s thanks to our many partnerships with industry, including the New Anglia Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering Network (NAAME), Hethel Innovation and many of the 400 member organisations of the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR).

Thanks to the contacts you’ll make and the experience you’ll gain, when you graduate you’ll be excellently placed to go on to work for one of the many international companies based in the region. Just one reason why 100 per cent of our Master’s graduates find employment or further study within just six months of graduating.

TRUE

COLOURS

UEA ENGINEERING ACADEMICS ARE DEVELOPING A RADICAL

NEW APPROACH THAT COULD CHANGE THE FUTURE OF PRINTING.

BY USING VOLTS INSTEAD OF PUMPS WE CAN NOW ACHIEVE ONCE

UNIMAGINABLE PRECISION.

HOW COULD YOU CHANGE THE FUTURE?

www.uea.ac.uk/brilliant

UEA’s Dr Matthew Alexander is researching a powerful new method of printing called ‘electrospray’ that works by applying a high voltage to a specially engineered capillary, instead of using physical pumps. Not only is the method more cost-effective, but it can be fine-tuned to produce images of incredible accuracy. The pioneering technique can produce individual dots of only one micron in size, with exciting prospects for hyper-realistic printing, amazingly responsive touch-screens and a huge range of other future technologies.

Our engineering academics conduct research at the intersection of various disciplines, finding hi-tech solutions to major scientific problems. We’ve got experts in everything from graphene to computational modelling who work with colleagues in many of UEA’s other prestigious Schools to address topics like climate change, fluid dynamics and biochemical research.
