Energy & Power Electronics

Do you want to use electrical engineering to contribute to the energy transition? Energy & Power Electronics is one of three majors within the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme. You learn how electrical energy is generated, converted and transported, and work on smart solutions for reliable and efficient energy systems.

Energy & Power Electronics is all about electrical energy and the technology needed to use it efficiently and reliably. You explore energy systems and power electronics and learn to work with electronics designed for high-power applications. You also discover how to keep electricity grids stable and safe when energy comes from different sources.

With this knowledge, you work on technical solutions for the energy transition. You explore how electrical engineering can contribute to converting and transporting sustainable energy, reliable electricity grids and electrical drive systems. This prepares you to help create smarter, more efficient and more sustainable energy systems.

Throughout the programme, you put what you learn directly into practice. You work on challenging, hands-on projects for companies and other real-world clients. This gives you valuable professional experience during your studies while working on solutions for current energy challenges.
