Delivery

You take modules to a total value of 180 credits over three semesters. 120 credits of taught modules take place during the first and second semesters. The course comprises a mixture of:

• lectures
• tutorials
• coursework
• practical laboratory classes

You'll learn in modern lecture theatres equipped with audiovisual equipment. Blackboard, a web-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), supports your taught modules. Practical sessions are in small groups in modern laboratories with extensive computing facilities.

You will sit exams in January and May/June. You will complete your 60 credit individual project over semesters two and three. Your background reading and design work take place over semester two. Most of your dissertation preparation and experimental work will be in semester three.

Practical sessions take place in modern laboratory and computing facilities. You'll be in small groups with experts in the field of:

• Power Electronics
• Electric Drives
• Machines
• Power Systems.
