Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Sustainable Transportation and Electric Power Systems

ongoing

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Sustainable Transportation and Electric Power Systems –STEPS offers a highly specialized education in Electrical Engineering, focusing on two areas of the highest technological content and professional requirements in the energy sector. The EMJM STEPS is promoted by a partnership led by the University of Oviedo (ES), together with the University of Kiel (DE), the Sapienza University of Rome (IT) and the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (PT), and supported by 13 prestigious international universities and 24 global leading companies in energy and transportation sectors. Companies will be offering internships, and some senior staff will be teaching courses. Graduates successfully completing the EMJM STEPS programme will be awarded with a Joint Master Degree in Sustainable Transportation and Electric Power Systems fully recognized in the four partner countries. The course is structured in 2 academic years, with four 30 ECTS semesters for a total 120 ECTS. Students can build their own curriculum based on their previous background and their professional interest, although it offers 2 recommended study tracks: Sustainable Transportation (ST) and Electrical Power Systems (EPS). The approach and content of the Joint Master respond to main challenges faced by the energy sector: -To master new energy sources and their implications to the power systems To reduce CO2 emissions by increasing energy efficiency and the share of clean energies -To gradually incorporate electrical transportation as an alternative to vehicles using combustion engines. Students will carry out the courses in at least 3 different countries, with 2 alternative mobility tracks: Coimbra-Kiel-Oviedo or Rome-Kiel-Oviedo. Students will also have the opportunity of an internship in an associated university or company in Europe, America or Asia. STEPS will be taught in English but students will have the opportunity to practise at least other 3 EU official languages.
