Electrical power and energy involves generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy reliably and efficiently to meet consumer demands. New environmentallyfriendly and sustainable sources of electricity such as wind farms, wave farms, bio-mass generators and other novel technologies are being explored and implemented. Students will study these aspects, and will have access to one of the few remaining high-voltage laboratories in the UK. One of the unique features of the MEng is a six-month industrial placement starting in the summer between Levels 4 and 5 which runs until the end of the first semester in Level 5AccreditationAccredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.  Show key dataProgramme contentYear 1 Circuit Theory, Electronic Design, Mathematics, Computer Programming and Digital Design form the core subjects.
