The Master's Programme
This Master's degree programme takes into account the wide range and innovative potential of electrical and electronics engineering as well as the rapid changes that are taking place in the professional field. In addition to factual knowledge, you will learn how to apply scientific methods that you will later use to systematically develop innovative solutions in your profession.
You will learn about different application areas for electrical and electronics engineering systems, e.g. components of power plants and energy supply, electromobility, communication networks, industrial systems and the field of integrated circuits. In all of these areas, you will analyse problems and come up with innovative solutions. You will be expected to lead project groups and conduct technical discussions in English.
The degree programme also forms a good foundation for working in interdisciplinary teams. The expression of team spirit is already encouraged at the institute. Electrical and Electronics Engineering is a degree programme that thrives on intensive exchange, whether this takes place in the well-equipped laboratories, in the study spaces, the canteen, or in the Dynamo Engineering Drawing Studio or the High-Voltage Drawing Studio.
Focus Areas
The field of electrical and electronics engineering is broad and full of possibilities. You are free to choose the subfield that you want to specialize in. From the 1st semester and on, you can choose out of the five in-depth specializations:
Automation Systems Engineering: subjects include: Electric Machines and Drives, Power Electronic Systems, Modelling and Simulation, Electronics, Signal Processing Systems, Control Systems, Embedded Systems, Measurement Systems
Electronic Systems and IC Design: subjects include: Analog and Digital Electronic Systems, Integrated Circuit Design and Application, Radio Frequency Systems and Signal Processing
Power Engineering: subjects include: Electric Drives and Power Electronics, Electrical Power Systems, High Voltage Engineering, Energy System Analysis and Optimization
Sensing, Control and Artificial Intelligence: subjects include: Artificial Intelligence, Automatic Control, Modelling and Simulation, Sensing, Signal Processing
Wireless Networks and Communication Systems: subjects include: Communications, Communication and Sensing Systems, Speech Signal and AI, Audio Signal Processing and Acoustics, Networking, Microwave Engineering, Antennas and Wave Propagation
I’m fascinated by how many of the most relevant topics for the future, like mobility, using energy efficiently, or data security, are influenced and sustainably changed by microelectronics. This is why the Master’s Degree Programme in Electrical Engineering was the perfect choice for me.
For example, you learn how chips are made out of semiconductor materials, how computers and smartphones are built, how data transmission and data processing work, and where and how sensor systems are used.
Collaborations and Networks
Students at TU Graz have access to an excellent technical infrastructure. This includes:
- the Nikola Tesla Laboratory, where diverse investigations and tests are carried out in the field of high-voltage technology,
- an antenna measurement chamber, where, for example, measurements of electromagnetic compatibility are carried out, and
- the Christian Doppler Laboratory for brushless drives for pump and fan applications.
Admission
The prerequisite for admission is a completed bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject (see curriculum).
Additionally, you need to provide evidence of competence in the English language.
