Course summary
Why this course?
Electrical energy is vital in todays society. It powers manufacturing and transport, provides heat and light and is part of all modern life.
One of the biggest challenges facing society is the need for reliable energy supplies with minimum impact on the environment. This degree responds to that need. It produces engineers with the technical expertise and skills to tackle this challenge and all complex issues surrounding the applications of electrical power.
The search for, and integration of, renewable and carbon-neutral energy sources into the existing power network requires innovative engineering solutions involving fuel cells, solar, wind, wave and tidal technologies. Examples of such innovation include our energy project in The Gambia and opportunities exist for you to be part of the annual expedition there to install solar technologies into rural communities.
Accreditation

Careers
Studying electronic & electrical engineering opens many doors. The Scottish Government stated that it's Scotlands ambition to become a world leader in clean, green energy. To achieve this, we need engineers with the technical expertise to deal with the complex issues surrounding the supply of electrical energy and applications of electrical power.
This degree responds to that need, offering excellent career opportunities in the electrical supply industry and power & renewable energy sectors. In addition, as electrical energy is increasingly used for powering transport, the automotive, aerospace, rail and shipbuilding industries will need graduates who can design and realise the transport systems of the future
Many of our graduates have secured well-paid and exciting jobs by the time they finished their degree. They take up positions as electrical engineers, transmission engineers and smart grid engineers with employers including ScottishPower, SSE REnewables, National Grid, and Aker Solutions.
