• This course will give students a thorough understanding of power electronics, electric drive systems, smart grids, wind power, photovoltaic, and other distributed generation systems.
  • The course, which enjoys very high student satisfaction rates, has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the industry. Electrical power engineers need to be able to work in multidisciplinary teams and to show organizational and commercial skills alongside technical knowledge. The course, therefore, has a strong focus on project management, self-development, and employability.
  • Students will benefit from the University’s excellent facilities that include specialist electrical and electronics laboratory resources. Northumbria has a well-established reputation for producing graduates who can apply their knowledge to generate creative solutions for sustainable electrical power systems.
  • In the second year, for one semester, students will study in another country or join a research group. This valuable experience will enhance their employability and further develop their theoretical and practical skills.
