On the MSc in Power Electronics and Control, the development of skills and advancement of knowledge focus on enabling students to solve multidisciplinary problems related to energy conversion, renewable energy systems integration and energy efficiency. Alongside this there will be the opportunity for them to develop practical skills for the analysis, design and application of power conversion systems in key areas of industry.
Students will cover subject specific subjects such as Advanced Power Electronics and Control and Control of Engineering Systems alongside cohort taught subjects to develop their management skills and their employability. Moreover, learners can benefit from the University's long-established relationships with industry, to include Imagination Technologies, Samsung, and BAE who support with careers fairs and guest lectures.
This course is accredited by IET and meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UKSPEC).
The successful postgraduates of the course will acquire the knowledge and understanding, intellectual, practical and transferable skills necessary for the analysis and synthesis of problems in engineering and manufacturing through a combination of experimental, simulation, research methods and case studies.
Students can expect to gain work in a range of disciplines within a variety of industries from specialist technical roles to positions of management responsibility. University graduates work as Power Engineers, Power Systems Engineers, and Control Engineers working on power systems projects for organizations including EDF, British Gas and AAB.
