Why study this course at LJMU?

Electrical power and control engineering is a specialised field with many opportunities internationally and professionally. A career in this area will create opportunities to travel and work in an exciting and dynamic industry worldwide.

This course includes the IET accreditation that you need to gain a career advantage. You can also access this programme part-time so that you can gain further expertise and knowledge and remain in employment.

Industry-based research is a key element of this programme, to keep you up-to-date with the latest innovation and prepare you for the sector or further research and PHD study if you want to progress your academic career.

This MSc degree programme provides an excellent progression point from undergraduate courses in the area of electrical engineering. You can also complete the course as development and to specialise in the Electrical Power and Control Engineering field.

Did you know that there is growing demand for electrical power engineers in the energy, automotive, and process industries? You could be involved in the design and development of electrical systems, such as those found in hybrid vehicles, cooling systems and aircraft actuators or the generation, distribution, regulation and conversion of electrical power.
You’ll develop advanced analytical and experimental skills to design new power and control systems and learn how to critically analyse designs, their functionality and expected reliability.
It will also be important for you to gain a strong understanding of the capabilities and limitations of modelling and simulation tools.

The expertise and laboratories available are aligned to the new sources of energy, green energy and the energy saving industry. LJMU specialist facilities support investigation into wind power electricity generation, where wider penetration of remote off-shore wind farm installations is expected in near future and multi-phase systems have many advantages.
The programme design provides opportunities to practice communication skills at Chartered Engineer level. You’ll gain the professional behavioural traits to prepare you for technical and management roles in power and control engineering.
