Sustainable Electrical Power Systems Engineering,PGCert

We require at least an Upper Second (2.1) class honours degree, or the overseas equivalent, in electrical and electronic engineering disciplines from a reputable institution.

When assessing your application, we take into account your grade average with particular emphasis on relevant course units with marks at 2.1 level. We would expect to see the following topics covered (though the wording on your degree may vary):

1. Engineering maths (e.g. MATH19681 and MATH19682 and MATH29681 )
2. Circuit analysis (e.g. EEEN10121 )
3. Generation/transport of electrical power/energy (e.g. EEEN10212 and EEEN20242 )
4. Systems analysis (e.g. EEEN20131 )

Students who meet most but not all of the above criteria may be considered for an alternative modular entry route into the MSc, where the first two mandatory units are taken.

Modular entry route

To be considered for the modular entry route we would require you to have covered the relevant topics (engineering maths, circuit analysis, general power system knowledge) with marks at 2.1 level. Alternatively this knowledge may be demonstrated via other routes such as workplace training or non-university training courses. We would also expect at least 1 years' experience in a technical role, including work on MV or HV systems. For example, system-operation/outage planning/network-planning/substation-design on systems 13.8kV and above. Please include specific details around the technical aspects of your involvement in any projects when you apply.

If accepted via this route, should you pass the first two units, you will be considered for a transfer to the MSc by the exam board. Exam boards sit every six months which would result in a break from studies, normally for three months, whilst waiting for the exam board's decision.
