Electrical Engineering - Master

The master’s program covers essential and advanced skills within electric energy conversion, electric drives, control methods and power systems for electrical engineers working with the technology for the future. These technologies are critical for the electrification and digitalisation of our society, an important element towards a sustainable future. Important applications are renewable energy generation, energy storage, energy distribution, and electric transport including electric vehicles, ships, and aircrafts.

Advanced skills are supported by fundamental knowledge given within electromagnetism, power electronics, programming, power systems, control engineering, measurement system, signal transmission and mathematics.

In the third semester, the student can choose to specialise by their choice of electric courses, or exchange to another institution provided that external courses are similar in content and scope to those specified in this program description.

See additional information and an overview of mandatory tasks in the individual course descriptions.
