Master in verification process for the academic year 2026-2027
The transition towards sustainable mobility has transformed the transport sector and continues to do so at an unprecedented pace. The Master in Transportation Electrification, taught in English, trains professionals capable of leading this change in the road, railway, and aeronautical transport sectors.
The program offers a multidisciplinary and highly practical approach that combines electrical, mechanical, electronic, and aeronautical engineering, focusing on aspects such as:
- Assessment and selection of electrification technologies based on multidisciplinary criteria.
- Design, modeling, and analysis of electrified transport systems, including land, railway, and aeronautical vehicles, with a deep understanding of their dynamics and energy requirements.
- Integration of electrified transport and its connection to the grid for more sustainable and intelligent electric networks.
- Resolution of electrification projects with a global and integrated vision for new electric mobility systems.
Taught by faculty from diverse areas and industry professionals, the master's combines a solid theoretical foundation with a clear practical and international orientation. It includes internships in leading companies and tuition support scholarships, offering graduates the opportunity to join a variety of innovative sectors related to transport and the electricity grid.
