Electrical and Electronic Systems

Course duration: Full-time: MSc: 1 year, MRes: 1 year. Part-time: MSc: 2-3 years

Location: Wrexham

Start month: September and February

These two programmes are aimed at industrial electrical/electronic engineering and, as such, form the core programme for our MSc provision. These programmes are designed to best match students learning and skills to modern industrial needs.

The courses are aimed at modern manufacturing applications, especially automated manufacturing, including such diverse applications as the powering and control of production lines, heating, lighting and electric vehicles.

The MSc Electrical and Electronic Systems combines the expanding areas of electrical technology and electronic technology. Centred around the use of power electronics and drive controls, this course provides a mix of electrical and electronic courses to provide a student with the analytical skills needed for developmental work in the areas of electric drives for the control of motor-powered machinery, industrial electronics and control systems. On completion of the degree, you will have skills and knowledge at the leading edge of today’s technology.

The MRes course is a research led Masters course that gives you the opportunity to select specialist options from your MSc programmes, together with an in-depth research project, helping you to develop your research skills.
