What you will study
Advanced Power Electronics at Aalborg University is a two-year master's programme taught in English at the Esbjerg campus. It sits where power electronics, control engineering and artificial intelligence meet, and it is built around projects with companies.
What you study
The programme covers advanced control engineering, electrical machines and artificial intelligence. You learn to analyse and develop power electronic systems such as electric motors and drivetrains, renewable energy plants, and work on optimisation and reliability. Courses named on the programme page include System Identification and Diagnosis, Machine Learning and Condition Monitoring, Probability Theory, Stochastic Processes and Applied Statistics, Non-linear Control and Reliability, Advanced Power Electronics and Applications, and Dynamic Modelling of Electrical Machines and Control Systems. If you want, you can specialise in AI and Autonomous Systems, working with advanced control of autonomous systems using deep learning.
How the programme is organised
Each semester mixes lectures with problem-based group projects. In the first semester you analyse diagnosis and maintenance of electronic, power electronic or drive systems, with a 15 ECTS project. The second semester focuses on a power electronic converter, a power source and an application such as an AC electrical machine or an AC grid; you document the work in a scientific paper and present at an internal student conference. The third semester gives you options: a traineeship in Denmark or abroad, study abroad, a regular semester at AAU with elective courses and project work, or starting a long master's thesis. The fourth semester is your 30 ECTS master's thesis on a topic you choose. The programme has laboratories dedicated to research and student projects.
Who it suits
This master's is for students who want to work at the intersection of power electronics, regulation and artificial intelligence, and who want to influence future energy systems. You should be comfortable with a cross-disciplinary, problem-based approach and with group work. The programme page says you will be in close dialogue with lecturers and researchers, and your projects will be linked to real-world cases from companies' operations, development and research.
