Course Overview

This course has been designed to facilitate further learning for those involved in or with aspirations of a career in electrical power engineering, including the renewable energy systems sector.

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 course comprises five 20-credit subject specialist modules covered in these threads.

British Council Scholarships for Women in STEMThe specialist threads are electrical power networks (comprising: Smart Grids, Microgrids, Future Energy Demand) and power electronic applications (comprising: Renewable Energy Generation, Power Conversion for Energy Systems, 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.
