Electrical engineers study, design, and manage systems related to the production, transmission, distribution, and use of electricity. From generation using traditional and renewable sources to powering industrial, residential, and transportation systems, electrical engineers are key to ensuring energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
The skills of an Electrical Engineer are essential to the energy transition, as electricity represents the primary driver for electrifying consumption and reducing emissions. Electrical engineers play a key role in the development and integration of renewable energy sources, smart grids, advanced storage systems, electric mobility (road, public transport, electric naval propulsion, and electric aviation), data centres, and the management of complex, highly efficient infrastructures.
Thanks to the transversal skills acquired, this professional figure is essential to address the technological and environmental challenges of the future, contributing directly to a more sustainable and digitalized society that is attentive to the conscious use of energy resources.
The Programme in Electrical Engineering develops specific skills in the electrical energy field, not only with regard to the production, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy, but also in the multiple and varied reality of industrial, domestic, and hospital electrical applications, in the transport sector, in automation and home automation systems, in electromagnetic compatibility , and in measurement and diagnostic techniques for complex systems.
Students can opt for the main track, “Electrical Engineering” (track R2D), or for a track more focused on smart grids, “Sustainable Smart Grids for Energy Transition” (track R2E).
The Degree Program of the main track “Electrical Engineering” (R2D) is organized as follows:
The first-year program includes theoretical courses aimed at building in-depth knowledge of advanced mathematical tools, fundamental measurement techniques for electrical systems, the fundamentals of electrical power systems, and the energy market. The second part includes in-depth studies in the field of power electronics and an introduction to the fundamentals of electromagnetic compatibility. The first-year program is rounded out with additional specialized courses chosen by the student from a range of courses that explore various application areas of electrical engineering; soft skills courses allow students to delve into specific enabling cross-disciplinary topics (e.g., those aimed at the digitalization of processes) and acquire skills aimed at personal/professional growth (e.g., communication skills, entrepreneurial and leadership skills , professional ethics, etc.).
The second-year curriculum includes courses aimed at further in-depth study in various areas of electrical engineering, including the design and construction of electrical machines, electrical systems for transport and electric propulsion, electrical power systems, reliability and quality control , measurement and diagnostic techniques, electrical drives, electrical energy production plants, the impact of renewable sources on the electrical grid and communication systems for electrical networks (smart grids).
A Bachelor degree is the prerequisite for admission to a Master degree program. To be admitted to the Master degree in Electrical Engineering, candidates must meet specific curricular requirements, namely knowledge consistent with the educational objectives of the program. These requirements are defined using as a reference model the study plan of the Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. The definition of the curricular requirements for admission to the Master degree in Electrical Engineering is based on educational requirements ensuring adequate general mathematical and scientific preparation, as well as knowledge of methodologies and technologies in electrical engineering. Admission to the Master degree program is subject to an evaluation process aimed at verifying the candidate suitability. In accordance with current regulations, this process is based on the assessment of curricular requirements and the adequacy of the student’s academic preparation. Admission to the Master degree will be decided at the sole discretion of an Evaluation Committee established for this purpose, based on the analysis of the candidate’s academic record. For admission purposes, the Committee may take into consideration documented cases of exceptional circumstances that justify non-compliance with the criteria indicated below and demonstrate the adequacy of the candidate’s preparation. Such documentation must be attached to the application for admission. Regarding prerequisites of English language proficiency, please refer to the enrollment procedures of Politecnico di Milano. For graduates of Politecnico di Milano, the academic record requirements considered by the Committee for admission are:
