电力和能源在当今社会至关重要，尤其是在推动可再生能源发展的过程中，需要具有先进电气技术技能的工程师和科学家。电力和能源涉及可靠且有效地满足消费者需求的电能的产生，传输和分配。正在探索和实施新的环境友好和可持续的电力来源，例如风电场，海浪电场，生物质发电机和其他新技术。学生将学习这些方面，并可以使用英国剩余的少数高压实验室之一。电力和能源工程学硕士的独特功能之一是从夏季开始的六个月的工业实习，从4级到5级，一直持续到5级的第一学期结束。
Electrical power and energy is vital in today's society and particularly with the push for renewables there is a need for engineers and scientists with the skills in advanced electrical technologies. Electrical power and energy involves generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy reliably and efficiently to meet consumer demands. New environmentally friendly and sustainable sources of electricity such as wind farms, wave farms, bio-mass generators and other novel technologies are being explored and implemented. Students will study these aspects, and will have access to one of the few remaining high-voltage laboratories in the UK. One of the unique features of the MEng in Electrical Power and Energy is a six-month industrial placement starting in the summer between Levels 4 and 5 which runs until the end of the first semester in Level 5
