Master of Science in Mechanical and Electrical Systems Engineering
Electrical and mechanical systems engineering is a collection of engineering disciplines around the themes motion, force and energy. It encompasses development, design, manufacturing, testing and control of tools, machines, vehicles and other electrical or mechanical systems, as well as research on these topics.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
What
The Master of Science in Mechanical and Electrical Systems Engineering is a two-year degree programme intended to prepare students for a future technical leadership role in industry. The programme offers in-depth training in all technical aspects of electrical and mechanical systems engineering and its economic and societal implications based on a solid scientific basis. Graduates will have acquired an attitude of scientific synthesis, analytical reasoning as well as scientific and technical independence allowing them to design new technologies. Training in research skills provides mastery in developing, implementing and monitoring technical and scientific innovations for a sustainable society.

Remarks
The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (FEA) offers most of its Engineering programmes at Master’s level in English. This underlines the international ambition of the faculty, as well as the importance of an international education and multiple language skills for students.
For whom
The admission requirements vary. Depending on your prior education, you are either able to enrol directly, or there are additional requirements.
Structure
The first year of the program provides the students with a broad and in-depth knowledge of the four pillars of this master: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, thermo-fluids engineering and control engineering and automation. Furthermore, the students learn to design complex systems using advanced numerical techniques. In the second year, technological electives, non-technical electives and academic specializing electives together with a Master’s dissertation allow the students to either deepen or broaden their knowledge in topics of their interest. The Master’s dissertation is a final step in the academic learning process. It aims at fostering the ability to conduct scientific research independently. The technical electives, company visits and guest lectures prepare the master students for a smooth transition from academia to the industrial practice.
Labour Market
Electrical and Mechanical Systems Engineering graduates are employed in all branches of industry. Both at government agencies and private companies their range of professional activity is broad and varied: energy production and distribution, electrical and mechanical equipment manufacturing, robotics and process automation, metal and chemical industry, buildings and HVAC&R, sustainable transport and consultancy.
