Course overview

This programme provides you with an in-depth knowledge of electrical power generation, transmission, distribution and networks. We also explore the operating principles, monitoring, optimisation and control of modern power systems in detail.

Introduction

The world demand for energy, in particular electricity, is increasing significantly and will continue to do so over the next decade and beyond. There are many challenges to be addressed in order to meet this ever-increasing demand, and electrical and electronic engineers are needed to provide key solutions. There are significant opportunities for you to make an impact that will shape the future, and this programme has been carefully designed with this in mind.

Developed with industry partners, this master’s course addresses environmental challenges, renewable energy generation, smart grid, high voltage power engineering, and research and management skills. In addition, you will experience site visits and practical sessions.

This two year course with a year in industry shares the same modules as it’s one equivalent programme without a year in industry.  The year in industry placement will give you an in-depth workplace experience where you can develop your skills and apply your learning. It’s a great way to gain insight into potential career options and start building your professional network. Completing this programme with a year in industry usually takes two years, with the placement typically running for 30 weeks from September of year one to June of year two.

Who is this course for?

The programme has been carefully developed for graduates with electrical/electronic or related backgrounds to meet the increasing demand from the energy and power industry to provide solutions to challenges in the sector.

What you'll learn

  • You will develop the knowledge, skills and competencies (as defined by UK-SPEC) needed to pursue a successful professional career in energy and power systems engineering that meet the needs of industry and society
  • You will gain a sound understanding of energy and power systems principles, broad knowledge of technical and non-technical subjects and skills to practice energy and power systems engineering and develop your career to any scientific, technical or managerial level worldwide
  • You will attain a level of competence and experience that satisfy the academic requirements for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
