What you'll learn This English-taught Master's deepens your expertise in core electrical engineering while focusing on current and emerging areas. You will study technologies that drive the digital future, explore the interfaces between electrical engineering and computer science to optimise systems and processes, and work at the intersection of electrical engineering and artificial intelligence to develop next‑generation intelligent systems. The programme emphasises applied problem solving and prepares you to design, analyse and improve complex engineering systems.
Career prospects Graduates are well positioned for roles across research, development, industry and public institutions. Typical career paths include R&D positions, technical support roles in production and service environments, and further academic qualification such as pursuing a doctorate or an academic career. The programme equips you with the technical knowledge and interdisciplinary skills sought by employers in automation, embedded systems, AI-driven products and related sectors.
Admission requirements (confirm exact criteria with the university)
For precise entry requirements, application deadlines and document formats, consult the university's official admissions information.
This full-time Master's in Electrical Engineering is structured to be completed in three semesters. The first two semesters are devoted to taught components — a combination of lectures and laboratory work — which provide the core academic and hands-on training. The final semester is reserved exclusively for the Master's thesis, allowing you to carry out an independent research or design project that integrates and demonstrates the skills you have developed.
Throughout the taught phase you can expect a balance between theoretical instruction and practical experimentation: coursework and lab sessions together form the backbone of the programme’s learning experience. Practical training (for example, internship-style work or applied projects) is also supported and can be completed within the framework of a sabbatical semester, should you choose to take that option.
By the end of the programme you will have consolidated advanced knowledge in electrical engineering, strengthened your laboratory and experimental skills, and gained experience in planning and executing an independent research or design project culminating in the Master’s thesis. These outcomes prepare graduates for professional practice in industry or for continuation to doctoral studies.
Program structure — key requirements and components
To qualify for this master's program you must have already completed an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering or in a closely related discipline. Admission is based on your prior academic preparation, so programs typically look for a solid foundation in core electrical engineering topics.
"Related field" covers undergraduate degrees with substantial overlap in electrical-engineering subjects. If your bachelor’s degree is in a neighboring area (for example: electronics, telecommunications, mechatronics, power systems, automation, or computer engineering), your application will be evaluated on the technical content of your previous studies to determine suitability.
