Energy and Electronic Engineering

If you're ready to take your interest and expertise in Energy Engineering into a postgraduate research degree, then Portsmouth is the perfect place to fulfil your ambitions.

Major advances are being made in renewable energy, but our global dependence on oil and gas looks set to continue for years to come. Our current research in the field investigates the exploration, drilling and extraction of oil, and its transportation to surface separation and petroleum refineries – and when you join us as a postgraduate research degree student, you'll play your part in continuing to turn our expertise into action.

We're busy finding new ways to improve the safety of petroleum production, and the efficiency of hydrocarbon oil and gas recovery too.

What can a postgraduate research degree do for my career?

Once you complete your postgraduate research degree, you'll be a highly-skilled researcher with the knowledge and skills to make an impact in many different industries.

Your postgraduate research qualification demonstrates to potential employers that you're an intelligent, capable and motivated person, with provable abilities and experience in critical thinking, problem-solving, project management, communication, leadership and creativity.
