Electrical Engineering
Electrical energy is recognised as the primary energy source to tackle global energy challenges. It is the key driver of efficiency and success in the energy transition towards a sustainable economy.
Electrical engineering stands as the largest and most diverse technological field in the world. Studies in the Master's Programme in Electrical Engineering are wide-ranging and highly relevant to society and industry. You may choose to specialise in the design, use and control of electric systems or in electronics.
You will acquire extensive knowledge of industrial operations as well as engineering skills and technological knowledge needed to design, assess and enhance electrical systems. You will also develop knowledge, skills and capabilities for intellectual, creative, responsive and professional growth, and lifelong learning for continuous improvement.
In the programme, you will learn to apply the essential theories of electrical engineering to practical electrotechnical and electronics applications. You will be able to work independently and scientifically, acquire information, and formulate solutions to complex problems and tasks.
Further, you will learn to work as a member of a team and be able to organise, carry out, and lead projects. The degree programme also prepares you for scientific doctoral studies.
- ECTS transcript – If you are still completing your Bachelor’s degree, upload an ECTS transcript showing the subjects you have studied, your grades, and the number of credits awarded. Your Bachelor’s diploma must be uploaded later, as soon as you receive it.
- Bachelor’s diploma – If you have already graduated, upload your Bachelor’s diploma. A separate ECTS transcript is not required.
Note: Your Bachelor’s degree must be in the same or a related field as the Master’s programme you are applying for. The university will check whether you have completed enough relevant subjects and ECTS credits.
