Upon completion of the Master's Programme in Electric Transportation Systems, graduates will have a profound understanding about electrical transportation systems as a whole and be able to apply appropriate technology solutions in the technological development of future transportation systems. 

Overview

Electric transportation systems are emerging worldwide to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. The changes in technology concern the whole transportation system – road transportation, off-road machines, marine vessels and aviation. This programme gives an overview of the technology and business in electric transportation systems. It also focuses on key technologies and skills related to electric transportation, such as electro-mechanical drive trains, power electronics, battery technology and related information technology. Also indirect electrification methods and e-fuel technologies are considered, and environmental impacts of different technology solutions are analysed. 

The Master's Programme in Electrical Transportation Systems suits applicants with a BSc degree in electrical engineering and those already in full-time work because it mainly utilises blended and hybrid teaching. Contact teaching will be mainly arranged on the Lahti campus on individual days at the end of the week. Laboratory work will be organised in Lappeenranta during a few contact days. 

You can apply to this programme through the regular admission process. See detailed entry requirements

As a graduate of the Master's Programme in Electric Transportation Systems, you may find employment in industry, public transport companies, energy companies, or municipal or governmental organisations. Master's graduates from electrical engineering have gone on to become project managers, product development managers, development directors, senior design engineers, research and development engineers, product developers, specialists etc.
