The Power Engineering Master's program is part of the International Studies in Engineering (ISE) program. It builds upon the knowledge acquired in a Bachelor's degree by expanding expertise and practicing specialized methods in the field of power engineering. The program prepares graduates for demanding roles in management, research, and teaching in the energy technology sector. The curriculum deepens knowledge in advanced mathematics, numerical mathematics, electromagnetic field theory, and technical subjects that are fundamental for sophisticated work in electrical engineering and information technology. The program focuses on high-voltage and energy technology, including economic aspects of operating such systems, and covers topics on alternative energy sources. The program aims to develop students' ability to work on theoretically demanding topics and solve complex tasks requiring extensive theoretical tools for modeling, synthesis, and simulation. Graduates are prepared for careers in research of innovative energy technologies, implementation of these results in industrial practice, and leadership positions in the development and operation of energy generation and supply systems.
Like all ISE Master's programs, the Power Engineering program follows a structured curriculum consisting of advanced theory subjects, core subjects specific to the discipline, electives, non-technical subjects, and a Master's thesis with colloquium. The advanced theories provide the necessary background for education in the chosen field. The mandatory core subjects provide in-depth knowledge in power engineering. Electives allow students to choose and deepen their own profile within the discipline. Non-technical courses aim to deepen general education, increase linguistic competence, and strengthen teamwork and presentation abilities. The Master's thesis concludes the scientific education, demonstrating the student's capability to process a problem autonomously using scientific methods within a given period.
