  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

The Power Systems Engineering MSc is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to work at a professional level in industries involved in the production, distribution and consumption of energy and power. This wide range of industries includes transport, conventional and renewable power generation.

About this degree

Students will study the analysis and design of conventional and renewable machinery systems and the use of computers in advanced engineering analysis. Students gain knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering principles, quantitative methods, and mathematical and computer modelling. They also gain an awareness of the codes of practice, standards and quality issues within the modern industrial world and gain insights into project management methodoligies.

Who this course is for

The programme is suitable for graduates with a first degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or a related degree. The programme will benefit students who wish to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become Chartered Professional Engineers or to pursue careers in higher levels of management in manufacturing, transport and power engineering.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university in a suitable engineering subject such as electrical, mechanical or mechatronics, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard 1. Some basic knowledge of applied electricity is essential.
