Sustainable electric power engineering and electromobility, master's programme at Chalmers The global use of electricity and electronics is continuously increasing, and in the coming decades, electric vehicles in combination with renewable electricity production will change our energy systems fundamentally. The paradigm shift in development will also affect how and when electricity is produced, transmitted, distributed, and consumed. The master’s programme in Sustainable electric power engineering at Chalmers is for everyone who is interested to face these challenges and work towards a career in the power engineering industry, the utility industry and other related areas. The recent advancements in information and communication technology also offer new opportunities for example the design and operation of electric power systems. In this programme, you will learn to combine sustainable thinking with deep technical competence. You will gain practical experience through laboratory exercises in form of experiments in combination with computer exercises, so-called simulations. You will also get in close contact with the Swedish industry through guest lectures, study visits and opportunities to carry out your master’s thesis work with a company. Show less

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory elective courses and elective courses.

Compulsory courses year 1
During the first year, the programme starts with four compulsory courses that form a common foundation in Sustainable electric power engineering and electromobility. Each course is usually 7.5 credits.

Electric machines – design and analysis
Power electronic converters
Future renewable-based power systems (Year 1 or 2)
Compulsory courses year 2
In the second year, you must complete a master's thesis in order to graduate. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.
