The MSc in Electrical Technology for Sustainable and Renewable Energy Systems 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 those engineers wishing to update their knowledge in this area or those students/engineers who wish to go on to do research or to study for a PhD degree and finally for those first degree students wishing to enhance their training leading to a Masters degree.
