Faculty of Engineering & Design BEng(Hons) Electrical Power Engineering BEng(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering NCEPU and the, UK Introduction This elite 2+2 programme offers high-achieving students at North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) the opportunity to graduate with two degrees, one from the, UK and the other from NCEPU, China. After two years of studying in China, students spend two years based in our top ranking Electronic and Electrical Engineering department, at one of the UK s most prestigious universities, situated in one of the safest and historically famous cities in the country. 华 北 电 力 大 学 与 英 国 巴 斯 大 学 2+2 联 合 培 养 项 目 为 华 电 优 秀 学 子 提 供 了 获 得 华 电 与 巴 斯 两 个 本 科 文 凭 的 机 会 经 过 华 电 两 年 的 本 科 学 习, 学 生 将 在 巴 斯 这 一 英 国 最 安 全 的 历 史 文 化 名 城 度 过 本 科 剩 余 两 年 巴 斯 大 学 整 体 实 力 名 列 英 国 前 茅, 电 子 与 电 气 工 程 学 院 更 是 享 誉 全 英 Our Faculty has a strong relationship with NCEPU, welcoming MSc and PhD students in addition to the 2+2 programme. I have visited NCEPU along with colleagues, developing close working links and building friendships. I am always impressed by the enthusiasm NCEPU students have for their studies and the effort put into learning from their teachers. In 2008, we developed this programme for NCEPU students to transfer to the after year two of their study in China to complete a further two years of study in the UK. The students will therefore earn two degrees from two world-leading universities. Every year we are delighted to welcome students from NCEPU to the. I hope to welcome you to the in the near future and share the special friendship we have with NCEPU. Professor Gary Hawley Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Design The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering is extremely proud of its joint education programme with NCEPU, which is one of the top universities in China. This brochure details the technical content and facilities made available to students joining our 2+2 programme and moving to Bath. Further material is available on our website, where information can be found on topics such as other degree programmes, scholarships, accommodation, welfare and student support www.bath.ac.uk/elec-eng/ug/ncepu. Whilst engineering will be the main focus of your work, you may find it advantageous to pursue other activities, either for relaxation or for broadening your general education. Examples include: modules on languages, history, culture etc. excellent sports facilities social clubs facilities for creative arts (painting, ceramics, photography etc.) facilities for performing arts (theatre, dance, choir singing etc.). Bath is a beautiful and cosmopolitan city in which to study and I am sure you will enjoy living here as much as I do. I look forward to welcoming you in the near future.

Student experience NCEPU Students NCEPU students already studying the 2+2 programme at the University of Bath will be available to support newcomers and share their experiences of life in the UK. 已 在 巴 斯 大 学 就 读 的 华 电 2+2 学 生 会 非 常 乐 意 分 享 经 验, 帮 助 学 弟 学 妹 们 迅 速 适 应 英 国 生 活 Alumnae of NCEPU Xiaoyan Guo, alumna of NCEPU, has stayed at Bath and now studying for an MSc in Electrical Power Systems. Lu Ma, alumna of NCEPU and Bath, has continued studying at Bath as a PhD student in the Department. Lu has recently been awarded a prestigious fellowship grant of up to $50k by the Schlumberger Foundation, a nonprofit entity that supports science and technology education. The grant aims to support her ambition to become a future academic. The programme between the and NCEPU provides a great opportunity for those who want an advanced and enjoyable teaching experience. The lecturers at Bath are responsible and more than happy to help if you have any kind of problem. The library is brilliant and is open 24 hours a day. Bath s Sports Training Village has some of the best facilities in the UK, and are used by Olympic athletes for training. The University is an ideal launch pad for further study in MSc or PhD. As for the city, Bath is an attractive and safe place to live, as well as unique for its Roman baths and buildings. It has everything you would expect to find in larger cities, but with a cleaner and more relaxed feel. I would definitely recommend Bath to others and the only advice I would give to potential students is to bring a camera with you when you come. Minghao Xu To be honest, I didn t consider a profession as an electrical engineer until I began studying at the. During my undergraduate study, I was fully involved in solving reallife engineering problems; this invaluable experience really helped me to improve my communication, organisation and time management skills. It is thanks to the excellent cosmopolitan atmosphere for international students at the University that I have become a regular attendee at social activities, where I ve enjoyed the opportunity to interact with many people from different cultures. The Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering at the has an international reputation for excellence in teaching, which I have found to be true in my personal learning experience. I would recommend the University to anyone who has a dream to study abroad in an institution renowned for its high-quality learning and teaching. Come along and join us; I can guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience! Xiaoyan Guo I was one of the first students from NCEPU to participate in the 2+2 programme finishing my undergraduate studies in Bath. I m now a final year PhD student in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, feeling privileged to stay on and make the most of my time here. The benefits became quickly apparent to me shortly after I arrived; Bath has world-leading facilities, rigorous training programmes, a diverse research portfolio, good funding opportunities and undergraduate courses accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Together with knowledgeable and encouraging staff, my experiences at Bath have been crucial to my academic development, for which I m grateful. The city itself is clean and safe and, being compact and beautiful, it s a major tourist destination. Aside from being historically significant, its location in the UK is also ideal for exploring the rest of the country. Lu Ma
