M.Sc. Management and Engineering in Electrical Power SystemsDo you want to combine your expertise in electrical power systems with top management skills? In this M.Sc. program you will focus on technical topics such as high voltage engineering, electrical machines and battery storage systems. In addition, you will learn how to solve faults and stability problems in power systems. Furthermore, you will consider the physical problems of energy storage and use computational engineering tools to automatize and manage complex power systems. Besides this technical knowledge, you will also expand your management and business skills as preparation for you to be in charge of the financial planning and development of engineering projects in your later career.

Study at two top universities in the heart of Europe!This unique management and engineering M.Sc. program is run as a cooperation between two European universities, both highly acclaimed in their respective fields: RWTH Aachen University in Germany and Maastricht School of Management in the Netherlands. The safe, historical and multicultural student cities of Aachen and Maastricht are located in the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion, where the borders of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany meet, providing the perfect opportunity to enhance your intercultural skills.

Pursue both Management and Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, Germany!Institute of Power Systems and Power Economics (IAEW) is in charge of this course of study’s academic organization. The chair and institute are part of RWTH Aachen’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. In your first year, RWTH School of Business and Economics will also teach three management modules in Aachen.

Develop your skills at Maastricht School of Management, the Netherlands!Maastricht School of Management (MSM) teaches the majority of the business modules of this M.Sc. program. You will be trained as a globally-oriented manager with solid knowledge of core management processes and the major social and environmental issues that set the scene for business processes in emerging economies. You will also be challenged to explore feasible innovations that balance business and development perspectives.

Get great career perspectives! As a graduate of this M.Sc. program, you will be qualified to...• design, organize and manage virtual power plants, applying demand side management or dynamic demand management• design and operate peaking power plants, load following power plants, or virtual power stations to keep the electrical power systems in balance• improve the reliability of supply by implementing sophisticated predictive simulation and computing techniques• optimize the cost balance between energy production and its environmental impact• develop investment strategies needed to improve electrical power systems• design and develop innovative smart grids.
