Bachelor in Master Electromechanical Engineering Sustainable Transport

Tuition fees for Bachelor in Master Electromechanical Engineering Sustainable Transport are 4,500 EUR per year.

How can we reconcile the growing global demand for mobility with the urgent necessity to decarbonize our transport systems? The Master of Electromechanical Engineering with a specialization in Sustainable Transport addresses this critical intersection of mechanical innovation, electrical power systems, and environmental stewardship. It is designed for students who seek to engineer the vehicles and infrastructure of the future, moving beyond traditional combustion-based paradigms toward high-efficiency, electrified, and autonomous solutions.

Situated at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), this programme leverages Brussels' position as a hub for European policy and technological development. Students explore advanced topics such as electric drive systems, vehicle dynamics, energy storage, and smart mobility management. The curriculum emphasizes a hands-on approach, combining rigorous mathematical and physical modeling with practical applications in laboratory and industrial settings. Graduates emerge as versatile engineers capable of leading research and development projects within the automotive sector, public transport authorities, and sustainable energy companies.
