The MSc Electrical Power Systems will give you the skills and specialist experience required to significantly enhance your career in the electrical power industry.

The programme builds on a long-term involvement with the power industry, the education of power engineers and extensive research work and expertise within the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

Learning outcomes

The MSc will equip you with the ability to make an immediate engineering contribution to industry in electrical power systems analysis, planning, operation and management.

You will be able to perform in-depth engineering work on defined tasks requiring research, personal project management and innovative thinking.

The programme provides its graduates with the underpinning knowledge of business operation and project team working that leads to maximised impact within the industrial setting.

Collaborative working

The programme includes traditionally taught subject-specific units and business and group-orientated modular work. These offer you the chance to gain experience in design, project management and creativity, while working with students from other subjects.


Contents

Semester 1 (October-January)
* Five taught units in chosen MSc subject
* Includes coursework involving laboratory or small project sessions
* Typically each unit consists of 22 hours of lectures, may involve a number of hours of tutorials/exercises and laboratory activity and approximately 70 hours of private study (report writing, laboratory results processing and revision for examinations)

Semester 2 (February-May)

* Individual Project preliminary work
* Group projects in which students work in a multi-disciplinary team to solve a conceptual design problem, just as an industrial design team would operate
* Management/Research modules, studied jointly with Management and Innovation students in the Bath School of Management and Engineering Doctorate students based in industry
* The semester aims to develop your professional understanding of engineering in a business environment and is taught by academic staff with extensive experience in industry.

Summer/Dissertation Period (June-September)

Individual project leading to MSc dissertation

Depending on the chosen area of interest, the individual project may involve theoretical and/or experimental activities; for both such activities students can use the department computer suites and well-equipped and newly refurbished laboratories for experimental work. The individual projects are generally carried out under the supervision of a member of academic staff. A number of industrially-based projects are available to students
