1-Semester Pathway - Pre-Masters - Engineering & Computing - ICAS - Transfer to Master of Science - Electrical Power & Control Engineering

This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre for the University of Strathclyde followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Strathclyde. In your international foundation year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

The Pre-Masters in Engineering and Computing, you will explore and begin to understand the power of engineering and computing in the real world. While you begin to learn the technical aspects of your desired degree program, you will discover how to push the bounds of creative expression and graduate with the skills to succeed, plus the critical outlook and approach employers want.

Gain IET accreditation on LJMU's Electrical Power and Control Engineering MSc.

• Study at one the UK’s leading Engineering Schools • Follow a programme informed by internationally-acclaimed research from LJMU’s Electrical and Electronic Engineering Research Centre • Look forward to career success with major UK and international employers • Meet Chartered Engineer requirements

This MSc includes the IET accreditation you need to boost your future employment opportunities. It can even be completed part-time to enable you to study as you remain in employment.

Industry-based research is a key element of the programme, keeping you up-to-date with the latest innovation and preparing you for employment in the sector or further research and PhD study.

Growing demand for electrical power engineers in the energy, automotive, and process industries means that, as a graduate, you could be involved in the design and development of electrical systems, such as those found in hybrid vehicles, cooling systems and aircraft actuators. You may also be working on the generation, distribution, regulation and conversion of electrical power.

Year 1 will be spent studying at LJMU. Year 2 is a paid industrial placement. Placements are not guaranteed and will be subject to interviews with employers.

During your studies 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. You will also gain a strong understanding of the capabilities and limitations of modelling and simulation tools.
