Electrical Engineering2nd cycle

Co-create the future by studying electrical engineering

The second cycle postgraduate study programme Electrical Engineering offers a high-quality set of specific professional electrical engineering skills. The study programme offers students a wide range of choices within the programme, and through in-depth research work on real-life projects, students acquire the fundamental skills of an independent research approach.

The international dimension of the programme allows our students to build on their specific skills through Erasmus+ programmes and other types of mobility at universities abroad.

What does the study programme look like?

The course lasts 2 years and is worth 120 credits (ECTS).

Upon enrolment in the first year of the study programme, students are oriented towards one of seven fields of study (Automation and Informatics, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Information and Communication Technologies).

The first three semesters are spent in lectures and tutorials, and in the last semester, the fourth semester, students complete a master’s thesis worth 30 ECTS.

Upon completion of the programme, students are awarded the title of Master of Electrical Engineering.

What are the main objectives of the programme?

• To provide world-class expertise in electrical engineering,
• to encourage creativity and critical thinking in finding new solutions,
• to enable effective involvement in research and development work upon recruitment and to be innovative in finding new solutions,
• to provide an excellent foundation for studies at cycle 3 in electrical engineering or another engineering discipline,
• to convince students of the need for further independent study as part of lifelong learning,
• to facilitate transfer between related study programmes and to ensure Europe-wide comparability of educational attainment.

What competences do students gain from the programme?

• Broad and qualitative specific knowledge in the chosen field of electrical engineering,
• the ability to pursue and master state-of-the-art processes and technologies,
• the ability to exercise sound judgement and to keep up with the latest developments in the wider field of electrical engineering,
• the knowledge needed to carry out independent research and development work,
• study in modern classrooms and laboratories,
• internationally renowned educators and researchers,
• Europe-wide comparability of educational attainment,
• interdisciplinary skills that are also useful in medicine, biology, economics, engineering, computing, sports, psychology and many other fields,
• a very good basis for further study at the PhD level in Electrical Engineering or any other engineering discipline,
• broad career development opportunities for MSc electrical engineers, enabling them to integrate effectively into the labour market.
