Majors: BEng Energy Science & Engineering/BEng Environmental Science & Engineering +Features: Global Focus


The School of Energy and Environment (SEE) performs cutting-edge research and provides professional education in energy- and environment-related issues. The School is designed to tackle interactive relationship between energy and environment through the development of new scientific understanding and new technologies as well as the training of new professionals with broad knowledge in the areas of energy and environment.


We have a highly internationalised and experienced faculty from various countries specialising in atmospheric and climate science, biological science, chemistry, chemical engineering, energy economics, environmental engineering, environmental policy, mechanical engineering and materials science.  SEE endeavours to produce a new breed of engineers and professionals capable of solving energy and environmental problems.


We currently offer the following majors:


  • Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Science and Engineering
  • Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Science and Engineering


Students start with a common year of foundation study. The content of our programmes covers a wide spectrum of areas, allowing students to explore knowledge in a number of environments. At the beginning of their studies, they develop a broad scientific foundation by studying courses in basic science, covering mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry and biology before they are guided through an in-depth exploration of environment and energy issues.


At the end of Year 1, INSPIRE students can then decide their academic and research interests, and be allocated their preferred major without any selection criteria set for majors allocation.


The proposed INSPIRE stream offers a comprehensive education in energy and environmental engineering through enhanced overseas study, research engagement, industry placements, mentorship support and entrepreneurial training. It prepares students for (a) success in the field and (b) contribution to sustainable development, with the key features of the INSPIRE stream as summarized below:


  • Overseas placement / research opportunities and overseas exchange study are guaranteed for students to enhance their global perspective.
  • Students will participate in a mentorship programme that connects them with experienced professionals, offering guidance and industry insights to support their personal and professional development.
  • To embark on an entrepreneur journey, training workshops on entrepreneurship will be provided.
  • Scholarship awards will be provided for students taking part in overseas academic/research experiences at top universities.


Mission of the School


  • Advancing research and development, fostering knowledge transfer in targeted themes of benefit to societal needs in energy, environment, and sustainability;
  • Preparing leaders and practitioners to address environmental and energy needs in a rapidly decarbonizing world and build a sustainable future;
  • Maintaining a collaborative and supportive atmosphere for students, faculty, alumni and other stakeholders in advancing our interdisciplinary research and educational objectives.
