Through advanced laboratory training and research-informed teaching, develop technical expertise in areas relevant to electrification and clean mobility sectors and build skills applicable to engineering contexts where innovation and sustainability are priorities. Global efforts to reduce carbon emissions are increasing the demand for engineers with both theoretical understanding and practical experience in energy conversion technologies. This course focuses on developing your knowledge of key technologies associated with electrification. You’ll explore advanced embedded control and real-world power applications, helping you build specialised skills relevant to the development of sustainable energy solutions that align with international standards and address global decarbonisation targets. Core areas of study: Intelligent power and control: master the design of advanced converters and motor drives, using embedded microcontrollers and real-time software to automate complex industrial systems.Energy storage and sustainability: acquire the modelling skills to integrate batteries and hydrogen fuel cells into renewable grids and electric propulsion systems, driving the transition to global decarbonisation.Industry-aligned research: solve real-world engineering challenges through an independent project aligned with major UK innovation initiatives and current employer demands. Why you should study this course: ) Research-informed teaching: your learning draws on research activity within the Centre for e-Mobility and Clean Growth, ensuring content reflects current developments in industry and technology. ) Practical learning: every module includes practical laboratory sessions, giving you opportunities to use industry-standard facilities related to power electronics, battery technologies or hydrogen systems. ) Employer-aligned curriculum: the course is designed to meet the specific needs of the electrification sector. Modules have been shaped by industrial collaborators leading major UK innovation projects. This includes a research project funded by Innovate UK within the university looking at how to train future career-ready Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD) graduates. ) Professional networking opportunities: engage directly with industry visitors, specialist researchers and collaborators active within the Centre for e-Mobility and Clean Growth’s ongoing commercial and academic projects.
