MSc Electrical Power Engineering with Industrial Practice

If you’re an engineering graduate, this two-year master’s course will give you the knowledge and skills to meet the future needs of the electrical engineering sector. You’ll learn about industrial applications and requirements plus a range of management issues, while working with cutting-edge tools and techniques.

This MSc in Electrical Power Engineering with Industrial Practice combines study with practical elements. You’ll be taught by research-active tutors in a dynamic environment before putting your skills to use on a project and an internship with a relevant employer.

This master’s course is ideal for engineering and technology graduates who want to expand their skills or develop their careers in engineering managerial roles or manufacturing. You’ll emerge with the ability to adapt to future technologies and build the reflective practice for careers in electrical power engineering at professional engineer level.

How you will learn

Teaching

You are taught through a combination of interactive lectures, discussions, and tutorials, with the use of appropriate and relevant case-studies. Our taught modules are research-engaged and most have a practical component that relates to the theory you cover in the classroom.

Individual research projects help you learn to adapt and apply specific methodologies to unfamiliar problems.

Class sizes

For specialist modules, our classes are usually limited to 20 students in lab sessions and 40 in lectures. This helps to create familiarity between students and staff and ensure a great learning experience. The modules that run across several courses can have larger classes sizes, which are typically broken down into smaller groups.

Independent learning

Our courses are designed to give you the space for exploratory and independent study. You’ll work towards individual and group assignments and undertake the preparation/follow-up work associated with lectures, seminars, integrative assignments and laboratory classes.

We encourage students to take advantage of a range of related extra-curricular opportunities available within the university and elsewhere.

Overall workload

If you are studying full-time, you should expect the workload to be similar to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of courses you are studying.

Assessment

Students will be assessed through a variety of methods, such as:

Classroom presentations, discussions and case-studies
Critical reviews, looking at new areas of research
Examinations.

Feedback summary

University policy is to give feedback on assignments within 15 working days of the coursework submission date.

Examination results will be available within 28 days.

Dates and timetables

Each academic year runs from September to June. You can begin the course in September or January.

Careers and placements

Will I have a work placement?

The industrial placement lasts approximately one year. This is an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and experience you’ve gained during the first year of the master’s course plus any previous study or experience. You’ll be able to engage with current industrial systems, processes and practices, which contribute to your professional development as a manager in the engineering sector.

Our Faculty Employability Team provides support and guidance. We work with a organisation that specialises in helping students to secure an industrial placement. However, it is your responsibility to secure the placement for your second year. This could be with a local or international employer in a relevant industrial sector.

What sort of careers do graduates pursue?

A wide variety of opportunities exist for electrical power engineers in both the supply sector and large industrial consumers. The course enables graduates to achieve both highly technical and managerial careers by equipping them with relevant skills to meet current and future business needs.

Do you provide employability services?

We have a team dedicated to enhancing student employment outcomes. This includes an Employer Partnerships Manager, who works with companies to provide placement and employment opportunities.

Our team will also help you understand the jobs market, produce effective CVs, and prepare for a graduate job and placement applications in your final year.
