MRES LOW CARBON ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

The MRes Low Carbon Electrical Power and Energy Technology programme provides advanced and systematic education and training in the areas of electronic science and technology.

Low Carbon Electrical Power and Energy Technology

Overview

The MRes Low Carbon Electrical Power and Energy Technology programme provides you with advanced and systematic education and training in electrical engineering and energy technology. Designed in response to the rapid development of electric power and energy technology in China and worldwide, the programme contains modules covering renewable energy technologies, smart grids, and semiconductors.

The programme contains two pathways: power systems and semiconductors. Students can choose the one that best fits their future plans.

There is a strong emphasis on hands-on experience and research skills development. After students have finished the taught modules in either pathway, a 12-month extensive research project is required which leads to the submission of a dissertation.

XJTLU-JITRI Joint-Supervision

This programme also offers the option of XJTLU-JITRI (Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute) joint supervision. The combined strength of XJTLU and JITRI’s research institutes and leading enterprises promotes in-depth integration between industry, education, and research. A unique training model incorporating specialised module study, industrial research practice, and dual supervision fosters cross-disciplinary graduates who are innovative and application-oriented and have highly developed international perspectives.
