JOb OPPORTUNITIES
Engineers with a specialization in elec-
tric power engineering are in demand
all over the world. In Norway there is a
steady demand in sectors such as utility
companies, industry, consultant and
offshore oil and gas exploration. Citizens
of EU countries can apply for jobs in
Norway. Non-EU citizens will have to
obtain a work permit first. Here are some
opportunities:
w Through industrial network:
We have close relations with
WHAT yOU CAN LEARN AbOUT:
w Energy supply with special focus
on production, transmission and
distribution of electric power,
including analysis of power systems,
energy planning, and Smart Grid
technology.
w Electrical installations in buildings
including design, technical and
economical dimensioning, reliability
and safety, control, energy efficiency
and lighting.
w Design and construction of equip-
ment and components for transport
and conversion of energy including
high voltage cables, electrical
machines, power electronics, motor
drives, switchgear and transform-
ers.
FACILITIES
The students attending this internatio-
nal master's programme will work
together with the students in our 5-year
integrated master's programme; Energy
and the Environment. All students at this
level will have access to reading rooms
for a small group of students and com-
puter labs. The Department of Electric
Power Engineering is well equipped and
has several modern laboratories for
work in high voltage, high current and
electrical heating, power electronics and
Norwegian and international industry
and utility companies.
w Follow up with PhD: Students
completing the master programme
with an average of B or better can
apply for vacant PhD scholarships in
electric power engineering at NTNU.
w Through project work and master's
thesis: For most of our master's
theses the students work in close
cooperation with PhD-students and/
or industrial partners.
The programme is suited for candidates
with a bachelor's degree in electric
power engineering who wish to expand
their theoretical knowledge and enginee-
ring skills by pursuing a master's degree.

Norway has a unique position in terms of energy resources.
This has resulted in Norway gaining a leading position within
certain fields of electric power engineering, such as the
utilization of hydropower and other renewable energy sour-
ces, deregulated power markets, and offshore and maritime
electrical installations. For these reasons NTNU has establis-
hed an international master's programme in Electric Power
Engineering.
