MASTER'S DEGREE IN
SMART GRIDS
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, in close collaboration with Iberdrola. 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 is designed especially for graduates in the area of electrical or telecommunications engineering.
It will both deepen the knowledge of electrical engineering graduates in the new challenges and opportunities around
smart grids, and allow information and communications engineers to gain new insights into the power sector's emerging
needs and the global energy transition. Students from all backgrounds will gain the foundations to contribute to the new
energy paradigm and the utility of the future.
WHY TO TAKE
THIS COURSE?
The program of courses 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, resulting from the
involvement of two internationally recognized universities. One of the most interesting features of the program is the
intensive international experience offered. Students not only spend one semester in both Spain and Scotland, but also
carry out paid internships offered within the framework of this master's degree at Iberdrola or other collaborating
entities' International premises.
PROGRAM
This master’s degree has a duration of 1 year (90 ECTS). Alternatively, it may be carried out over a period of two
years, in conjunction with the Official Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering (MII) or the Official Master’s
Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (MIT).
