Electrifying the future
As our student, you can find solutions to issues related to sustainable development and human well-being.
Campaigning for tomorrow’s world
Electricity is needed everywhere – from nanotechnology to mega-infrastructures. Development of the field therefore affects us all.
Care robots, speech recognition, micromaterials, galaxies near and far away – the School of Electrical Engineering is so much more than electricity and smart power grids, as we study many topics you might not initially associate with the electrical industry. We take part in solving the great challenges humanity is facing, such as climate change, the depletion of natural resources and an aging population.
