Electrical Power Engineering

About this course

Electrical power engineering sits at the heart of modern society, underpinning everything from national grid infrastructure to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. The discipline focuses on the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electrical energy at scale, and it has grown in importance as the world moves away from fossil fuels toward low-carbon alternatives. Studying it means engaging with a field that is actively reshaping how countries power themselves. On this part-time programme at Glasgow Caledonian University, you will develop a thorough understanding of power systems analysis, electrical machines, control engineering and power electronics. You will explore how large-scale networks are designed and managed, how faults are detected and contained, and how modern power converters make renewable generation viable. The programme includes both a placeme
