A Master of Engineering in Smart Grid Technology offered by the Stellenbosch University at the Faculty of Engineering

The objectives are similar to those under the research based Masters, but the route towards the end goal is different. Students have to complete eight compulsory block modules, followed by a short thesis. This is a new exciting development in line with growing international trends.

This is a new course offering by the Dept of E & E Eng, in response to worldwide evolutional processes in the electrical energy domain. These are seen to be technologically very exciting, but will also have a considerable impact on conventional networks, in the near to medium future.

One, or two years; Full-time basis or part-time basis. One week block per module with 45 hours of contact and additional work via distance education. Successful completion of all modules is followed by a thesis project. Each block carries 15 credits and the project 60 credits.
