Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering and Master’s in Smart Grids
Specialisation in smart grids, one of the areas revolutionising the electricity sector
What does this Master’s degree involve?
The dual programme comprising the Master’s in Industrial Engineering and the Master’s in Smart Grids, delivered by Strathclyde University and Comillas ICAI in close collaboration with Iberdrola, combines industry and academia to provide students with a broad-based education in industrial engineering, complemented by specialisation in smart grids – one of the key revolutions in the energy sector.
The digitalisation process currently underway in the electricity grid requires engineers capable of leading it. Students who successfully complete the Master’s programme will gain a detailed understanding of the operation and planning of electricity grids under this new paradigm.
One of the Program’s key attractions is its international focus.
Students will spend one semester in Spain and one semester in Scotland; in addition, they will undertake work placements (from May to August) at leading companies such as Iberdrola, Scottish Power Energy Networks (Glasgow), Minsait, Naturgy and Gridespertise.
