We are facing an energy revolution. Join us in developing the smart power system of the future
Society depends on electricity. Cars, trains and ships are electrified, and consumers can produce electricity themselves. We expect electricity when we need electricity. This creates new challenges for the power system. The entire electrical infrastructure must be further developed and maintained for efficient and reliable energy supply.
You will learn to develop innovative solutions for the sustainable power system of the future and design electrotechnical equipment for industry, energy supply, ships and railways.
The future is green, electric, and digital. Renewable energy will replace oil, coal, and gas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This is an international master's program taught in English.
The first year consists of subjects that will give you the professional basis for your field of study. This part of the study includes the compulsory subject Experts in teamwork (EiT), which gives you practical experience in interdisciplinary collaboration.
You will finish your study with a master's thesis supervised by a researcher. The themes of the master's thesis are linked to the research activities of the various research groups at the Department of Electric Energy, often in collaboration with companies
You will learn to plan, design, and operate electrical power systems in order to develop innovative solutions for the sustainable power system of the future.
You will learn to develop new methods and new high-tech components for efficient, reliable systems and industrial products for the energy sector.
You will acquire skills and competence to solve new and complex challenges that technological development brings with it.
In Norway and the world, there is a great demand for electric power engineers in energy companies, industry, consulting engineers and oil and gas operations.
Citizens from EU countries can apply for jobs in Norway. Non-EU citizens must obtain a work permit to apply for a job in Norway.
After a master's degree, you may be eligible for a doctoral degree (PhD).
