The MSc Electrical Engineering for Sustainable and Renewable Energy is designed to provide instruction and training in the most recent developments in the equipment and systems used to interface and control renewable and sustainable energy systems. This knowledge is essential both for an engineer wanting to work in research and development in electrical engineering for renewable energy systems in industry and for an engineer planning a research career in the field. The course will give you an advanced and comprehensive coverage of the specialist engineering skills required by an engineer working in electrical technology for renewable and sustainable energy systems. The programme provides an excellent basis for a range of students wanting to engage in further study. This includes working engineers wishing to update their knowledge in this area or those students/engineers who wish to go on to do research e.g. to study for a PhD degree. It is also suitable for first degree students who wish to enhance their training to masters degree level before embarking on a career in industry.

Our postgraduates generally progress to exciting roles in design and development with major international companies or government agencies, obtain consultancy posts with leading contract consultant companies or move into successful academic careers.
