Significant transformations in electricity generation and consumption, including the rise of renewable energy sources like wind and solar, along with the shift toward electric transportation, are creating fresh challenges for electrical engineers. This master's program in electrical engineering equips you to help build a more intelligent, sustainable, and reliable power grid. As an accredited program, it opens doors to Chartered Engineer status. Electrical engineering focuses on large-scale electricity systems—its production, management, and delivery for industrial and residential use.
The electrical engineering master's builds on the three-year BEng curriculum, adding a fourth year to explore subjects in greater depth. You can specialize in areas like high-voltage insulation, medical electrical applications, and the social impacts of energy production. The program blends theoretical learning with hands-on experience, with most courses featuring lab work or design projects. You'll also gain access to our high-voltage lab, a pioneering research facility and one of the UK's few specialized labs of its kind. Through our partnership with the Institution of Engineering and Technology Power Academy, you can apply for industry-sponsored scholarships offering financial aid, summer internships, and professional mentorship.
