Study programme aims and objectives

The aim of the master's study level in electrical power engineering is to: Show more...

- prepare students with MSc degree who have wide base systematic and specific knowledge on the specialty of electrical power engineering and on the main applicable theories and methods;
- to create possibilities to obtain specific knowledge and skills in the field of electrical power engineering and develop attitude, which enables the graduates to start working as electrical power engineer in fields of management, system planning and developing, designing, useability, consultation, assessment and research, providing thereof creativity, initiative and responsibility as well as managerial and teamwork skills;
- to create possibilities to formulate and thereof propose solutions for power engineering practical problems considering the uncertainty of information;
- to create possibilities to obtain knowledge and skills for composition engineering projects, taking into account technical constraints and requirements, economic effectiveness, reliability, safety and sustainability;
- to create possibilities to obtain knowledge and skills and formulate attitude for teamwork, for continuing studies on doctorate level or for in-service training, and for professional competence development.

Learning outcomes of the study programme

Upon completion of the curriculum, the graduate:
- has systematic deepened overview and broad-based knowledge on the terminology, Show more...
theory, research methods in the field of electrical power engineering, and understands and is able to analyse interdisciplinary relations between different engineering fields, e.g. power systems, engineering, thermal power engineering, etc;
- has deepened knowledge on some specific field of electrical power engineering, e.g. electricity production, transmission and distribution, distributed generation and energy system digitalisation;
- can creatively and independently identify and formulate problems and/or research topics related to the electrical power industry and solve these by implementing adequate methods in the given time frame and in conditions of restricted information;
- can lead and manage electrical power engineering engineering projects, critically assesses the economic efficiency, reliability and sustainability of the outcome of specific engineering works;
- can formulate, present and argue problems, analyzes, conclusions and underlying theories related to the specialty both verbally and in writing and participate in relevant discussions.
