Course Overview

Electrical energy is vital in today’s society. It powers manufacturing and transport, provides heat and light and is part of all modern life.

One of society's biggest challenges is the need for reliable energy supplies with minimum environmental impact. This degree responds to that need. It produces engineers with the technical expertise and skills to tackle this challenge and all complex issues surrounding electrical power applications.

The search for, and integration of renewable and carbon-neutral energy sources into the existing power network requires innovative engineering solutions involving fuel cells, solar, wind, wave and tidal technologies. Examples of such innovation include our energy project in The Gambia and opportunities for you to be part of the annual expedition there to install solar technologies in rural communities.
