The Master's Degree in Smart Grids (MSG) is a Master of Science Degree with 90 ECTS credits, taught by the University of Strathclyde and the ICAI School of Engineering. The main objective of the program is to respond to the growing demand for engineers, needed to lead the ongoing process of the digitalization of the electric grid.
This program provides students with a detailed understanding of the operation and planning of grids under this new paradigm, along with new business opportunities and models that are arising in this constantly changing field. It has been developed in close collaboration with Iberdrola. This alliance guarantees both the practical component, thanks to the participation of industry, and the academic rigor of the courses.
The main objective of the program is to respond to the growing demand for engineers needed to lead the ongoing process of the digitalization of the electric grid.
These engineers will need to master both the Power Systems and the Digital Telecommunication technologies present in this new energy paradigm. The present master program deepens on these two main subjects and their interdependencies.
Comillas ICAI has large-scale teaching laboratories unique in Europe and at the cutting edge, where you will carry out practical exercises and real simulations.
These programs provide you with a multidisciplinary and integrative training, combining the traditional training of engineers with transversal training for leadership in international contexts through the development of professional and communication skills, leading the electrical transition.
