The global consumption of electricity and electronic devices is constantly increasing and the way electricity is produced, transmitted, distributed, and consumed is undergoing a fundamental change. The growth of electric vehicles and renewable energy production in the coming decades will only further this development.


In this master’s programme, you will gain deep technical competence and a sustainable mindset, preparing you for a dynamic and rewarding career in the electric power engineering industry. You will learn to design the electric power systems of the future with sustainability as a key focus, including wind and solar power or smart grids.


Sustainable electric power engineering and electromobility, master's programme​ at Chalmers


The global use of electricity and electronics is continuously increasing, and in the coming decades, electric vehicles in combination with renewable electricity production will change our energy systems fundamentally. The paradigm shift in development will also affect how and when electricity is produced, transmitted, distributed, and consumed.


The master’s programme in Sustainable electric power engineering at Chalmers is for everyone who is interested to face these challenges and work towards a career in the power engineering industry, the utility industry and other related areas. The recent advancements in information and communication technology also offer new opportunities for example the design and operation of electric power systems.


In this programme, you will learn to combine sustainable thinking with deep technical competence. You will gain practical experience through laboratory exercises in form of experiments in combination with computer exercises, so-called simulations. You will also get in close contact with the Swedish industry through guest lectures, study visits and opportunities to carry out your master’s thesis work with a company.
