Programme Structure

With an ever-increasing desire for carbon footprint reduction, efficient electrical power supply and cost-effective means of delivering energy, it is evident that power engineers of the future have to be mindful of a variety of disciplines. To reflect this, this programme has been designed to meet the industrial demand for the training and education of both existing and future engineers in the advanced concepts of sustainable electrical power and energy generation. The aims are to produce graduates of a high calibre with the right skills and knowledge who will be capable of leading in teams involved in the operation, control, design, regulation and management of power systems and networks of the future.

Demonstrate a rational and professional approach to engineering problem solving 

Values and attitudes

Understand the complex challenges and constraints on end-use energy efficiency 

Knowledge

This programme has been developed in accordance with the QAA Subject Benchmark for generic masters level programmes. 

Rapidly assess the important features of new technologies 

Integrate information across a broad range of subject areas, from engineering through economics to risk assessment and management 

Skills

Recognise the need to nurture the earth’s resources carefully to meet sustainable energy needs 

Seek, process and interpret information from a variety of sources 

Develop a desire to improve the condition of the human population through technical innovation and optimal management of technology 

Appreciate the development of and constraints on carbon and non-carbon based energy resources 

Understand and evaluate the technical aspects and managerial challenges of alternative modes of energy supply, distribution and utilisation 

PSRPSM - Renewable Energy and Power Systems Management

The programme consists of eight core modules, augmented by reading and assessed coursework. Group work and individual projects are important. You will have the opportunity to attain further skills on oral presentation, teamwork, cognitive and research skills. Modules will be assessed on coursework, invigilated tests and unseen exams. 
A feature of the programme is that some lectures are delivered by visiting lecturers from industry. A further feature is the fact that typically 50% of the students work full-time in various parts of the energy industry. This brings the benefit of information exchange based on real experience, which enhances the learning process. 
The teaching and learning strategy is based on lectures, supported wherever appropriate by laboratory coursework. Assessment for the taught elements of the programme is based on coursework and written examinations. 
The dissertation aims to provide you with the opportunity to deal with problems in areas where new subject knowledge is required. This involves literature search, assessment of the relevance of previous work, the development of the research task and the presentation of research results. The research dissertation is assessed primarily through a dissertation but with contributions from work carried out during the dissertation period and presentation.
