Electrical and Information Engineering - Studies in Kiel
Description of the study
The internationally oriented master's program in Electrical and Information Engineering at Kiel University offers students a high degree of flexibility and individuality, as it is completely modular and does not include any compulsory subjects. Depending on your interests, you can specialize in energy technology, for example, with lectures, laboratory practicals, and seminars on renewable energies, smart grids, or power electronics for energy applications. This flexible structure allows you to focus on specific areas of expertise and develop skills in future-oriented fields of technology.
The program places great emphasis on research and practical experience. As part of their master's thesis, students are closely involved in current research projects, often in cooperation with industry. In this way, they actively contribute to scientific development and can help shape innovative technologies for renewable energies, energy systems, or smart grids. With a view to the energy transition, this program offers excellent career prospects – from the development of smart power grids to increasing efficiency in energy systems. The English-language full-time master's program lasts three semesters (90 ECTS) and starts in both the winter and summer semesters. Admission requirements are a comparable seven-semester bachelor's degree in electrical engineering & information technology and English language skills at level B2 (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS).
The study program offers excellent conditions: modern laboratories, research partners from industry and science, and close supervision by the faculty. Graduates are optimally prepared for demanding jobs in research and development, project management, or industry – especially in areas such as renewable energies, smart grid technologies, storage solutions, and electromobility.
