The university offers a broad range of activities aiming to enrich master students’ theoretical and experiential learning and professional development. Trainings, workshops and seminars, covering varieties of themes and topics, both generic and subject-specific, are often offered at both university and school/department levels. You may also be provided with opportunities to work as a teaching assistant, research assistant, or intern at XJTLU. Depending on the programme, field trips and company visits may be organized, and invited talks may be given by the industrial experts and professionals. Such activities will not only support you in your programme study, but also develop your personal and professional skills and enhance your overall employability.
Careers
Graduates from this programme are well prepared for roles in research and development, particularly in the area of electrical power and energy. Graduates may find employment in positions such as electric power system engineer, electric power system consultant, electrical technology consultant, electric power project manager, and sustainable cities and building design consultant.
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.
