The department of Electrical Engineering offers education on many different levels. We are involved in several Bachelor's programmes, and responsible for the master's programmes Biomedical engineering, Sustainable electric power engineering and electromobility, Information and communication technology, and Systems, control and mechatronics. You can also take the doctoral programme which offers a broad range of courses.
Master's programmes at Electrical Engineering
Biomedical engineering, MSc
With global life expectancy rising rapidly, healthcare systems urgently need to improve. By bridging the gaps between the design and problem-solving skills of traditional engineering and the medical and biological sciences, biomedical engineering can play a vital role in that journey. And when combined with progress and developments in the field of IT, a new world of possibilities in how health care can be improved and delivered is emerging.
Information and communication technology, MSc
We live in the information age, where communications and information processing are at the very heart of society. Intelligent transportation systems, smart cities, remote healthcare, and cloud services: all of these technologies rely on our ability to accurately and reliably share, store, and process massive amounts of data. This master’s programme will train you to imagine, design, and build the digital systems of an interconnected future, preparing for a career in a rapidly growing and constantly evolving field.
Sustainable electric power engineering and electromobility, MSc
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.
Systems, control and mechatronics, MSc
Gain the skills and competences to prepare for a professional career focused on the engineering of complex, computer-controlled products, and systems. With such systems already in great demand in a vast range of possible applications, the need for highly trained engineers like you is great. This master’s programme will give you a broad systems engineering base, suited to the design and understanding of complex, computer-controlled products and systems. Systems engineering enjoys a rich history in Sweden and longstanding collaborations with leading industrial partners make Chalmers the perfect choice to study this rapidly evolving field of engineering.
Doctoral programmes at Electrical Engineering
The different divisions at the department handle recruitment for doctoral studentships and the Deputy head of the department decides on admission into the Doctoral programme.
A PhD student is normally employed by the department for five years. Therefore, an open graduate student position must be available at the time of applying for graduate studies. Open graduate student positions are announced at chalmers.se under "Vacancies".
We also consider industrial graduate students for studies with us. Such a student is typically employed in industry or at a non-academic research lab.
Electrical Engineering
In the graduate school of Electrical Engineering, you will be part of the major changes that the whole society is facing - the rapidly growing automation, digitalization and electrification. To manage these challenges, it is important to constantly update and develop knowledge in the area.
About doctoral studies
The doctoral programmes provide you with a research specialisation based on fundamental scientific concepts, principles and methods. As a doctoral student at Chalmers, you will develop skills that can lead to future opportunities in both academia and industry.
