Master of Science - Engineering - Energy and Power Systems with a Year in Industry at University of Liverpool: Tuition: £21,600.00 GBP/year (Scholarship Available)

The world demand for energy, in particular electricity, will increase significantly over the next decade and beyond. There are many challenges to be addressed in order to meet this ever-increasing demand, electrical and electronic engineers will provide key solutions to these problems.

There are tremendous opportunities for us to make a significant impact that will shape the future, and this programme has been carefully designed and developed for this.

Our degree programmes are developed with industry partners to provide you with a career focused degree.

This programme provides you with an in-depth knowledge of the electrical power generation, transmission, distribution and networks. The operating principles, monitoring, optimisation and control of modern power systems are discussed in detail.

The environmental challenges, renewable energy generation, smart grid, high voltage power engineering and research and management skills are also addressed in this one-year programme. In addition, site visit and practical sessions are included. The programme has been carefully developed for graduates with electrical/electronic or related backgrounds to meet the increasing demand from the energy and power industry.

Graduates will be capable of undertaking research and development work in energy and power systems, and also developing and managing R&D programmes.

This 2-year MSc programme EEEI shares the same taught modules with its equivalent 1-year MSc in Energy and Power Systems (EEEP) in year 1.  But unlike the 1-year MSc students who do their MSc project over the summer, students on the 2 year MSc (EEEI) are required to undertake an industrial project and placement (either in the UK or overseas) in year 2, typically 30 weeks from September to next June.

This opportunity to work in industry will help students strengthen their career options by

Undertaking the project work in an industrial setting;

  • Applying theory learnt in the classroom to real-world practice;
  • Developing communications and interpersonal skills;
  • Building networks and knowledge which will be invaluable throughout their career.

The placement

During the placement year students will spend time working in a relevant company suitable for the MSc. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical engineering experience which will boost students’ CV, build networks and develop confidence in a working environment. Many placement students continue their relationship with the placement provider by undertaking relevant projects and may ultimately return to work for the company when they graduate.

The University of Liverpool has a dedicated team to help students find a suitable placement. Preparation for the placement is provided by the University’s Careers and Employability Services (CES) who assist students in finding a placement, help students produce a professional CV and prepare students for placement interviews. Placements can be near or far in the UK or overseas.

The University has very good links with industry; companies (such as ARM Plc) have offered our MSc students competitive placements.  Although industry placements are not guaranteed, the University offers students opportunities and support throughout the process to ensure that the chance for a student to find a placement is high.

If a student is unable to secure a suitable placement by the end of April during year 1, the student will be transferred onto the 1-year MSc to undertake the MSc project over the summer and graduate after one year.
