In this programme, you will gain a deep understanding of electric transportation systems as a whole, including how to apply relevant power electronics and electric drive technology solutions to the development of future zero-emission transportation systems.

You will also learn to compare different energy storage options and choose suitable ones for different applications. Also, you will become familiar with the power and energy transmission of electric vehicles – from green energy production to the drivetrain. With the programme’s emphasis on information technologies related to transportation systems, you will even learn to develop flexible charging systems.

This programme gives an overview of the technology and business in electric transportation systems. It also focuses on key technologies and skills related to electric transportation, such as electro-mechanical drive trains, power electronics, battery technology and related information technology. Also indirect electrification methods and e-fuel technologies are considered, and environmental impacts of different technology solutions are analysed.

Upon completion of the Master's Programme in Electric Transportation Systems, graduates will have a profound understanding about electrical transportation systems as a whole and be able to apply appropriate technology solutions in the technological development of future transportation systems.

Additionally, they will be able to describe information technologies related to transportation systems and apply them to, for example, the development of flexible charging systems.

Important requirements
  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering- Completed in a University 

OR

  • Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering- Completed in a University of Applied Sciences

AND you must have completed

  • a sufficient number of studies in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Power Electronics and/or Electrical Drives 

The Admissions Committee for the programme decides what constitutes a sufficient number of these studies and checks the studies during the academic evaluation. 

As a graduate of this programme, you will be ready to make your mark in the world of electric transportation systems and become an expert in a key field of a sustainable future.

You may find employment in industry, public transport companies, energy companies, or municipal or governmental organisations.

Master's graduates from electrical engineering have found employment as project managers, product development managers, development directors, senior design engineers, research and development engineers, product developers or specialists.
