The first semester, October to January, is spent at the University of Birmingham where students take four taught modules in Power Electronics subjects. The modules are taught sequentially with on and a half free weeks in between each one for self-study.
Supervision is available by appointment during the free periods.
The second semester, from February to June, is spent at Nottingham during which the four Drive modules are studied. The modules are taught to the same pattern as at Birmingham. The project module is taken from June to September. The student may opt to take the project in a power electronics subject at Birmingham or in a Drives subject at Nottingham. By studying either two or four of the modules each year, part-time students may take up to four years to complete the MSc.
