Master in Electrical Engineering for Energy Transition

The tuition fee is 3,163 EUR per year.

Electrical Engineering for Energy Transition is a master's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Genova in Genova, Italy, over two years. This program belongs to the field of electrical engineering, with a specific focus on the technologies and systems involved in shifting energy production and distribution toward renewable and low-carbon sources. Students typically study electrical power systems, electrical machines, and control systems, alongside subjects covering renewable energy technologies, power grid management, and the integration of distributed and renewable energy sources into existing electrical infrastructure. Coursework often addresses topics such as power electronics, energy storage, and the design of systems that support the transition away from fossil-fuel-based energy generation, giving students both the fundamentals of electrical engineering and applied knowledge relevant to the energy sector's changing landscape. Because the discipline combines core electrical engineering training with a focus on energy transition, students are equipped to work on the technical challenges involved in modernizing power systems and expanding renewable energy capacity. Graduates commonly pursue careers with energy companies, utility providers, and engineering firms working on power system design, renewable energy projects, or grid modernization. Others move into research and development roles within companies developing new energy technologies, or into consultancy work advising on energy infrastructure and policy. The degree can also serve as a foundation for further research in electrical engineering or energy systems. Based in Genova and delivered entirely in English, the program is designed for students interested in applying electrical engineering to the practical challenges of the energy transition.
