Course summary
Course overview
This programme provides you with an in-depth knowledge of renewable and sustainable energy generation, transmission, distribution and networks. We also explore the operating principles, monitoring, optimisation and control of modern power systems in detail.
Introduction
Introduction
The world demand for renewable and sustainable energy, is increasing significantly and will continue to do so over the next decade and beyond. There are many global challenges to be addressed in order to meet this ever-increasing demand, and we need electrical and electronic engineers to provide key solutions.
There are significant opportunities for you to make an impact that will shape the future of our world, and this programme has been carefully designed with this in mind.
Developed with industry partners, this masters course addresses environmental challenges, renewable energy generation, smart grid, high voltage power engineering, and research and management skills. In addition, you will experience site visits and practical sessions.
This two-year course with a year in industry shares the same modules as its one equivalent programme without a year in industry. The year in industry placement will give you an in-depth workplace experience where you can develop your skills and apply your learning. Its a great way to gain insight into potential career options and start building your professional network. Completing this programme with a year in industry usually takes two years, with the placement typically running for 30 weeks from September of year one to June of year two.
Please note: We constantly review and develop our postgraduate programmes. This MSc is also available with the alternative title Energy & Power Systems with a Year in Industry MSc (Eng) for entry September 2025, and gives students the option to graduate with either of these two MSc titles.
