Master in Electrical Engineering

Tuition fees for Master in Electrical Engineering are 1,051 USD per year.

Electrical Engineering is a two-year master's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Roma, Italy. This broad engineering discipline studies the generation, transmission, and application of electrical energy, along with the circuits and systems that use electricity to perform useful work. Coursework at the master's level typically deepens study of power systems, examining how electricity is generated, transmitted across long distances, and distributed to end users while maintaining reliability and efficiency. Students often study electrical machines, including motors and generators, along with power electronics, which covers the conversion and control of electrical energy for applications ranging from industrial equipment to renewable energy systems. Control systems and automation topics are commonly included as well, addressing how electrical and electromechanical systems are monitored and regulated. Renewable energy integration is frequently part of the curriculum too, given the growing role of solar, wind, and other renewable sources within electrical grids, along with the technical challenges of incorporating variable generation into existing infrastructure. Courses on circuit theory and electromagnetic fields typically provide the theoretical foundation underlying more applied coursework, while topics in instrumentation and measurement address how electrical quantities are monitored and controlled in practice. Graduates of electrical engineering master's programs pursue careers in power utilities, industrial automation, renewable energy companies, and equipment manufacturing, or continue toward doctoral research in areas such as power systems or electronics. Studying this discipline in English at an Italian university situated in Roma gives international students an advanced technical grounding within a European engineering and energy context.
