Beng %28hons%29 electrical power engineering pathway in Glasgow caledonian university

GCU Pathways students enrol at Glasgow Caledonian University on the BEng (Hons) Electrical Power Engineering (GCU Pathways). Over the first two years, students study HND Electrical Engineering at Glasgow Kelvin College in preparation for transfer to the BEng (Hons) Electrical Power Engineering degree course in year three.Power system engineers are in high demand as the successful production, transmission and distribution of electrical power becomes increasingly important. The switch to renewable energy from wind, wave and tidal sources will require substantial transmission and distribution infrastructure development. Our students get a strong grounding in sustainable energy production so will be ideally placed to capitalise on this significant growth.This course has been designed in collaboration with industry and has a strong emphasis on practical experience. It provides a broad education in electrical, mechanical, renewables and electronic engineering, alongside specialist modules in power engineering and power electronics. Students have access to well-equipped computer-aided engineering labs as well as electrical and electronic laboratories with leading technologies. The course offers two industrial based placements, during trimester B of year three and/or on completion of year three - one for 48 weeks. These are not compulsory or guaranteed placements.Choose the Electrical Power Engineering college pathway if:you are interested in renewable energy and sustainable engineering,you want to be at the forefront of power system engineering,you enjoy learning in a hands-on practical way,you work best with lots of interaction from lecturing staff,you like working towards clear goals with a sense of achievement at the end of each year of study.

A level: To meet the requirements, you should achieve BCC, which must include Mathematics, a Science or Technology subject, and a grade C/4 in English GCSE.

ILC Higher: You need to obtain 26 points, including Mathematics and a Science or Technology subject.

IB Diploma: You must obtain 26 points, including Mathematics and Physics.

BTEC: You should have a DMM Extended Diploma in an Engineering subject (subject to unit profile), along with a grade C/4 in English GCSE.

SWAP: For Access to STEM, the entry requirement is BBB.

Year 2 and Year 3: If you wish to apply directly, please submit your application for the BEng (Hons) Electrical Power Engineering program. It is possible for students to transfer to the MEng course based on their results at the end of the fourth year.
