MSc Power Electronics and Drives

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

The control and conversion of electric power using solid-state techniques is now commonplace in both domestic and industrial environments. A recent estimate suggested that over 40% of all electric power generated passes through silicon before reaching its final destination.

A knowledge and understanding of the diverse disciplines encompassed by power electronics – devices, converters, control theory and motor drive systems – is therefore essential to all power engineers.

This course aims to provide a specialist education in power electronics and drives techniques, covering key fundamental principles along with modern applications and current practices.

Entry Requirements
