General Study Information
Curriculum
Profile of the study program
In order to be prepared for the multitude of technical requirements future experts in Electrical Energy & Mobility Systems need to master, the program focuses on a range of important aspects of Electromobility. The program’s areas of expertise include Storage Units – „Battery“ Technology as well as Monitoring and Mobility Logistics. Equipped with this knowledge graduates are in high demand on the job market. They qualify for activities in private sector businesses as well as research institutions. “Electrical Energy & Mobility Systems” graduates are able to understand, develop and modify complex technical systems in the fields of electric power train development, drive control, electrical machines, mobile power electronics, battery technology, power electronics, alternative energy systems and mobility concepts. To support those careers, the program offers additional insights into Academic Competence Skills and Science Engineering.
Additional in-depth theoretical input is provided in the course of the degree. The first semester, in which electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechanical dynamics and academic competence are taught, is followed by two semesters of specialization in electrical energy & drive systems, power electronics, mobile energy storage, energy systems, automotive control, mobility systems and automotive logistics. In the fourth semester, the Master's thesis will be written in conjunction with a work placement. Upon completion of the final examination after four semesters, students are awarded the Master of Science in Engineering, MSc.
In addition to the formal requirements for admission, applicants to the Master’s program in Electrical Energy & Mobility Systems should:
- hold a degree of higher education (minimum 3-year Bachelor’s program) in the field of Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering and Electronics
- provide excellent knowledge of English language
- demonstrate strengths in the following areas:
- creativity
- enjoyment of innovative developments
Graduates of the master degree course Electrical Energy & Mobility Systems are able to:
- analyze and evaluate modern, energy-technical systems in their complex structure and
- analyze the future challenges in the energy technology sector, understand modern and economically efficient energy conversion and distribution systems and modify them accordingly the system concept,
- analyze and regulate industrial, technical systems (processes),
- develop electrochemical storage systems,
- design and construe alternative energy systems,
- perform test procedures for electrical energy storage.
