The University will deliver interdisciplinary training as you select modules from the Engineering and Manufacturing MSc programmes and bespoke modules for each stream. You will also study modules on research skills, business, ethics, social responsibility and policy.
The programme is structured to deliver cohort-based training, offering significant student benefits by promoting cross-disciplinary interactions and creating a stimulating and supportive network. This is achieved by year one entrants being based at Warwick, establishing a "sense of cohort and shared research mission". During the four-year programme, industrial and relevant external partners will deliver specific training and illustrative lectures throughout the programme to aid real-world industrial research.
The programme is designed to exploit the first-class research expertise and facilities of the School of EngineeringLink opens in a new window and WMGLink opens in a new window, with extensive direct industrial input and training delivery embedded throughout.
For both streams, industrial sponsors and relevant external partners will deliver specific training and illustrative lectures throughout the programme.
Our research
There are two available streams:
Stream One: Wide bandgap Power Electronics
Focus on the underpinning technologies for mobility applications and their connectivity to electrical power grids and networks through the emerging UK industry in Wide-Bandgap Power Electronics.
You will select modules from the School of Engineering and WMG Manufacturing MSc programmes as well as the bespoke modules below:
- Power Electronics fundamentals
- Wide-bandgap device design and integration
- Electrical transportation applications
- Systems and control
Stream Two: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
Focuses on the deployment of advances in Connected and Autonomous vehicles to address a variety of national needs such as improving safety, energy efficiency, comfort and convenience.
Some of the areas of interest in this stream include but not restricted to the following topics:
I - Virtual/physical validation frameworks and CAV certification
II - Reliable on- and off-board information processing and communications systems
III - Cyber Security, trust and privacy aspects of CAV technologies
IV - Business models and ethical considerations
V - Human factors in designing autonomous driving systems
VI - Dependability of positioning, perception and control systems for CAVs
You will select modules from the School of Engineering and WMG Manufacturing MSc programmes as well as the bespoke modules below:
- Automotive sensors and sensor fusion
