Master of science in Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers trained at the ULB are well placed to respond to market needs from technical consultants, companies, administration departments and research centres. They are capable of analysing and setting up complex industrial processes, i.e. measuring physical quantities for electricity and transporting it remotely, drawing up control algorithms, assessing system failure risks and detecting them when they occur, creating human-machine interfaces and measuring the impact of devices they create on other electrical systems and the environment. Their training means that they can contribute to meeting the challenge of supplying constant high-quality electrical energy and of finding the most rational way to use it. Electricity is also an information vector (for data, voice communication and image transfer) in industrial processes and in our daily lives and this information needs to be produced, processed and transported. Electrical engineers possess a solid grounding in areas related to their field, such as electrotechnics, automatic control, instrumentation, signal processing, microelectronics, telecommunications, real time information technology and mathematics.

The Master is defined around 4 axes:

- Electronics and microelectronics

- Telecommunication

- Multimedia

- Automatic control

The aim of the ULB's course in electrical engineering is to maintain as broad a programme as possible over four years and then to offer options enabling students to increase their knowledge of a more specific area.. A 12-week internship can be carried out at the beginning of the second year of the master. Which also has an international dimension through a range of opportunities for students to go on Erasmus exchanges and good contact with the VUB.
