After completing the taught components of the course, you will undertake a major piece of advanced independent research over the summer under the supervision of a specialist in your chosen area.

Course Structure
The MSc in Power Electronics and Drives is taught on a full-time basis over 12 months.

This course is operated on a modular basis and consists of two semesters during which you will follow a series of taught modules (worth 120 credits), followed by a 60-credit research project undertaken during the summer period.

You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources, as well as small-group and individual tuition.

Tutors provide feedback on assignments. Our objective is to help you develop the confidence to work as a professional academic, at ease with the conventions of the discipline, and ready to tackle any area of research in Power Electronics and Drives.

In the early stages of your project dissertation, your supervisor will read through and comment on your draft work. The project dissertation itself comprises a significant piece of your own research.

We offer a Postgraduate Diploma in Power Electronics and Drives, which shares its taught components with the MSc but does not carry a dissertation requirement.

In addition, you may be interested in the MSc and CPD flexible learning course in Power Electronics, Machines and Drives, which is specifically aimed at industrially-based, part-time students and is taught through a mixture of classroom-based study and via web-based distance learning.
