blank In Brief... blank
Overview
  The programme is of four years duration. The first year provides students with an appropriate academic foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and electronics/electrical science, in addition to introductory energy and sustainable development.

From 2nd year onwards students have a choice of specializing in one of four key areas (streams): namely Energy Markets, Power (Energy Control), Energy Management and Energy Science. 
Careers or Further Progression
  In the future, energy will be a much more important consideration in planning roads, infrastructure and buildings to minimise energy costs while maintaining and enhancing the quality of life. Planners and consultants will require a knowledge of the energy costs associated with the manufacture, transport, use and disposal of products, and of avoidance measures such as conservation and renewable energy.
