Course Overview

It adds an advanced practice module to our one-year master’s and is an opportunity to enhance your qualification through an internship, research or study abroad experience.

This course has been specifically designed to facilitate further learning for those interested in, or interested in, the electrical power engineering field, including the renewable energy systems sector. The course comprises five 20-credit subject specialist modules.

The course aims to deepen the student’s knowledge of subject areas previously studied as part of their first degree (i.e. electrical engineering). The system is built around two discipline-specific specialist threads and one future-facing thread.

The specialist threads are electrical power networks (comprising: Smart Grids, Microgrids, and Future Energy Demand) and power electronic applications (comprising: Renewable Energy Generation, Power Conversion for Energy Systems, and Microgrids). These specialist threads have been chosen to provide employment opportunities in various industries, especially in the electrical power engineering sector, and electrical power system skills for related renewable energy industries.
