Key Summary
About: The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Pavia trains professionals in theoretical and practical aspects of electrical engineering. It emphasizes consolidating theory and methods so graduates can address emerging challenges, update skills, and solve complex industrial problems with interdisciplinary approaches. The curriculum offers hands-on experimental research, numerical simulation, professional computing environments, and design methods for electrical systems and industrial automation. Courses are delivered in English and can be paired with Erasmus exchanges, fostering an international, multicultural student body and global learning experience.
Career Outcomes: power systems, grid automation, electrical design, drives, energy management, and consultancy
The Master’s Degree Course in Electrical Engineering aims to train professionals with a strong background in the theoretical and practical aspects of the main subjects that characterize electrical engineering.
Special emphasis is placed on consolidating theoretical frameworks and methodologies to ensure that the education provided remains relevant and adaptable, enabling graduates to confidently address emerging challenges and keep pace with necessary updates over time.
Graduates have to be able to identify, understand, frame and solve complex issues, typical of this industrial field, with an innovative and interdisciplinary approach.
Our study plan gives students the chance to personally experience the use of tools for experimental research, of professional computing environments for numerical simulation of the studied phenomena, and of design methods in the field of electrical systems and industrial automation.
Courses are delivered in English and can be complemented by international experiences through the Erasmus programme, both during study periods and while preparing the thesis. The diverse student body fosters an international and multicultural learning environment.
