Energy and Power Systems with a Year in Industry

Overview

The environmental challenges, renewable energy generation, smart grid, high voltage power engineering and research and management skills are also addressed in this one-year programme. In addition, site visit and practical sessions are included. 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.

Graduates will be capable of undertaking research and development work in energy and power systems, and also developing and managing R&D programmes.

This 2-year MSc programme EEEI shares the same taught modules with its equivalent 1-year MSc in Energy and Power Systems (EEEP) in year 1.  But unlike the 1-year MSc students who do their MSc project over the summer, students on the 2 year MSc (EEEI) are required to undertake an industrial project and placement (either in the UK or overseas) in year 2, typically 30 weeks from September to next June.
