Electrical Engineering UIT the Arctic University of Norway

Overview

The Master's in Electrical Engineering program from UIT the Arctic University of Norway covers essential and advanced skills within electric energy conversion, electric drives, control methods and power systems for electrical engineers working with the technology for the future. These technologies are critical for the electrification and digitalisation of our society, an important element towards a sustainable future. Important applications are renewable energy generation, energy storage, energy distribution, and electric transport including electric vehicles, ships, and aircrafts.

Advanced skills are supported by fundamental knowledge given within electromagnetism, power electronics, programming, power systems, control engineering, measurement system, signal transmission and mathematics.

In the third semester, the student can choose to specialise by their choice of electric courses, or exchange to another institution provided that external courses are similar in content and scope to those specified in this program description.

Careers

With a Master in Electrical Engineering, you can work in development, construction, research, environmental surveillance, data technology, electrical supply and instrumentation. Employers are often in the supplier industry, power sector and maritime sector, although the education is relevant for most uses of electricity.

With a growing focus on the development of sustainable and renewable energy production, electric energy will play a key role in many new energy-intensive areas of our society. We see it in transport, on land, sea and in the air as an exciting development area. The electrical engineer will play a central role in the renewable energy community of the future.
