Energy And Power Systems With A Year In Industry Msc (Eng)

The world demand for energy, in particular electricity, will increase significantly over the next decade and beyond. There are many challenges to be addressed in order to meet this ever-increasing demand, electrical and electronic engineers will provide key solutions to these problems. There are tremendous opportunities for us to make a significant impact that will shape the future, and this programme has been carefully designed and developed for this. Our degree programmes are developed with industry partners to provide you with a career focused degree. This programme provides you with an in-depth knowledge of the electrical power generation, transmission, distribution and networks. The operating principles, monitoring, optimisation and control of modern power systems are discussed in detail. 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 opportunity to work in industry will help students strengthen their career options by Undertaking the project work in an industrial setting; Applying theory learnt in the classroom to real-world practice; Developing communications and interpersonal skills; Building networks and knowledge which will be invaluable throughout their career. The placement During the placement year students will spend time working in a relevant company suitable for the MSc.
