Requirements

Admission Requirements: A UK 2:1 degree, or international equivalent, in Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering.

Examples of relevant courses are power electronics, power systems, electric machines, control engineering, renewable energy etc. This requirement may be partially met by relevant industrial experience; applicants with non-standard backgrounds may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants will also need to submit a personal statement, which should clearly demonstrate both their level of understanding of power engineering, and their strong interest in and commitment to the field. Please note that entry to this programme is very competitive. A typical offer will normally require a UK first class honours degree or equivalent.
