Electrical Engineering (Taught)

The course is a way to convert from other engineering disciplines, as a range of modules is offered to suit differing backgrounds and experience. The modular structure of the course offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing students to choose the modules that most reflect their interests and feed their research project.

Core modules:
Holistic Engineering Design; Project Design and Development; MSc Project (Summer)

Optional modules:
Advanced Control System Design (autumn); Advanced Power Electronics (autumn); Electric Machines, Drives and their Applications (autumn); Power Electronic Applications and Control; Advanced AC Drives (spring); Advanced Electrical Machines (spring); Power Networks (spring); Power Systems for Aerospace, Marine and Automotive (spring); Renewable Generation Technologies (spring);
Sensing Systems and Signal Processing (spring)

The assessment strategy differs between the taught (120 credits) and individual project (60 credits) modules. A typical module contains both written assignment(s) and an end of semester exam which is mostly weighted as 40%. The individual project module is continuously assessed in the summer period and concludes with submission of a final project report, as well as an oral assessment based upon the practical demonstration of the proposed engineering design/solution. The pass mark for all the modules is 50%. Your final degree classification will be based upon your aggregated achievement from both the taught and the project stages of 180 credits.
