Master's program in Automation and Electrical Engineering | Master's degree | Engineering & Technology | On Campus | 2 years | Aalto University | Finland

The Master's Degree in Automation and Electrical Engineering is a broad multi-disciplinary study program providing graduates with the ability to work in and between a wide variety of fields ranging from traditional electrical engineering and energy sector to biomedical engineering and robotics. Drawing from a strong mathematical and natural science basis, the curriculum is flexible, allowing each student to compile her/his own unique combination of courses according to her/his own interests. The main fields of the program are automation, biomedical engineering, and electrical power and energy engineering. Within these, the available focus areas include electrical grids, electric motor drives, lighting technology, control engineering, robotics, embedded systems, imaging and machine perception as well as microsystems, new hybrid carbon nanomaterials, and personalized health care. To prepare the graduates for their future work with large and often complex systems, the program includes several practical project works in groups which provide skills for solving multifaceted and ill-defined problems similar to those faced in the actual professional life. These projects typically include experimental and practical components as well as fundamental theoretical aspects. The program also gives the student a comprehensive foundation for doctoral studies. The program features three Majors, all of which offer several study paths. The learning outcome of the Master’s program and its Majors are as follows:
