BSc leading to ME or BE Hons Energy Systems Engineering

If you want to work on solutions to the world s energy problems, Energy Systems Engineering at UCD is for you. This degree prepares you to meet the engineering, economic and environmental challenges of the future. It focuses on the interdependence between electricity systems, building energy systems, the industrial production system, the food supply chain and the transport system. Maintenance of current living standards in the developed world, as well as aggressive renewable energy targets as defined by the EU, will demand new ways to use energy more efficiently, as well as requiring much bigger contributions from solar, wind, biomass, nuclear and advanced fossil fuel technologies. This degree provides students with a strong understanding of the complex multi-disciplinary and often conflicting issues that arise in the search for effective solutions to the energy challenges of the future.
