Read Bath PhD student from Beijing Maria Xi Zhang's useful hints and tips for NCEPU students coming to Bath.
In October 2008, the University of Bath and the North China Electric Power University signed an international Memorandum of Understanding allowing NCEPU students to study for a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Honours degree at Bath. Students from NCEPU can study either Electrical Power Engineering or Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Bath. These, and all our degree programmes, are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the professional body for our subject in the UK.
The University of Bath is ranked 9th in the UK, and best university in the South-West, in this year’s Complete University Guide league table.Dr Martin Balchin and students 8:24 min Graduation July 09
