Electrical Engineering - master

Practical execution

The programme is a three-year, part-time master’s degree delivered online, with mandatory on-campus weeks. It is aimed primarily at Nordic applicants but is open to international students who can attend these weeks. Semesters 1 and 6 are full-time (40 hours per week), while semesters 2–5 are 50% study load, requiring about 20 hours per week. In semesters 3–4, students choose at least 15 ECTS in electrical engineering courses or study abroad. Elective courses may require a minimum number of participants, and courses outside the approved list must be relevant and approved by the programme manager. The 30 ECTS master’s thesis occupies semester 6 and is recommended to be completed with an employer or another institution. Teaching combines online lectures, self-study, projects, flipped classrooms and laboratory work. Some activities require campus attendance.

With a Master in Electrical Engineering, you can work in:

• Development
• Construction
• Research
• Environmental surveillance
• Data technology
• Electrical supply
• Instrumentation

Employers are often in the supplier industry, power sector and maritime sector, although the education is relevant for most uses of electricity.

With a growing focus on the development of sustainable and renewable energy production, electric energy will play a key role in many new energy-intensive areas of our society.
