As global demand for energy grows, governments and companies are increasingly seeking to reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. This course allows you to study electronic engineering alongside specialist topics in the field of renewable energy systems to meet these challenges head-on.
You’ll gain a foundation in the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin electronic engineering and core topics like circuit theory and communications systems. Then you’ll build your knowledge of areas such as power systems, smart grid systems, power electronics for renewable systems control and energy conversion.
You’ll gain extensive hands-on learning in power electronics, electric drives, and solar/wind power test benches in our renewable energy study centre. Practical laboratory classes and project work in each year of the course will also allow you to apply your knowledge to real life work situations, developing your knowledge and skills for a variety of exciting careers.
**Course highlights**
- Our courses are shaped by our world-leading research in areas such as bio-nano and quantum technologies, robotics, energy-efficient green communications networks and renewable energy.
- There are lots of opportunities for you to work alongside our academics and get involved in the research happening in the School.
- During your project work you will have access to specialist facilities and laboratories.
- Our theoretical modules are supported by extensive practical sessions in the laboratory, allowing you to work on group and individual projects, giving you an effective way of learning in depth and a chance to focus on aspects of the subject you find most interesting.
- Small groups and examples classes are used to support the teaching, so you get regular feedback from the academic staff helping you solve any problems that you might have with a particular topic.
