About this course

Mechanical engineering applied to sustainable energy systems addresses one of the defining challenges of our time: how to meet the world's energy needs without destroying the natural systems on which all life depends. It combines the core mechanical engineering disciplines of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, and structural analysis with a focus on the technologies that make sustainable energy possible, including wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, energy storage systems, and the distribution infrastructure that connects generation to consumption. At the University of Southampton, this five-year full-time MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Sustainable Energy Systems and an Industrial Placement Year integrates masters-level study across four years of academic content with a year in professional engineering practice. You will develop core mechanical engineering knowledge and ex
