Learning outcomes
Currently there is a huge shortage of qualified energy engineers. Almost 100% of Sustainable Energy Engineering Bachelors graduates have found employment in the energy sector in the last 5 years, many securing employment before they complete their final exams. Energy engineering graduates are highly employable and are actively recruited by a range of companies working in sectors such as sustainable power generation, low energy building design, building energy systems design, energy management, energy modelling and simulation or with energy agencies or government bodies.
