COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Advanced Electrical Power Systems Engineering program provides a comprehensive education in the design, operation, and management of modern electrical power systems. Students develop expertise in core areas such as power system operation and economics, smart distribution networks, electrical machines and power electronic modelling, and power system dynamics and stability. The course emphasises both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, covering power system planning, resilience, asset management, analysis and control, as well as protection and communications. Students also engage in extensive research projects through the dissertation and an extended dissertation project, which enable them to investigate real-world technical challenges, apply advanced analytical methods, and develop innovative solutions for complex power system problems. The curriculum integrates industrial perspectives and cutting-edge research, ensuring that students gain a deep understanding of contemporary challenges in energy generation, transmission, and distribution, including the integration of renewable energy sources. Graduates acquire strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and project management skills alongside advanced technical knowledge, preparing them for careers in energy utilities, consulting, renewable energy, research institutions, and regulatory bodies. By combining rigorous academic training with practical experience, this program equips students to contribute effectively to the development, optimisation, and sustainable management of electrical power systems in a rapidly evolving global energy landscape.
