Entrance Exam Description

Subjects of the exam: English Language, specialty exam.

Program Structure

The curriculum is structured to provide a balance of advanced theory, practical engineering skills and applied project work:

1. Advanced Core Engineering Courses
Students deepen their technical expertise in key areas such as: Power distribution system design and modelling; Electrical network analysis and optimisation; Power electronics and control technologies; Reliability and safety assessment of power systems; Integration of renewable and distributed energy resources.
These core subjects help students understand both traditional and modern distribution systems, including smart grid concepts and digital technologies.

2. System Analysis & Tools
Focus on analytical and computational methods including: Simulation of power flows and system behaviour; Mathematical methods for design optimisation; Digital tools for monitoring and control in distribution networks.
This component bridges theory and real-world application by preparing students to use advanced engineering software and modelling platforms.

3. Practical Experience
Hands-on training and practical work include: Case studies and engineering projects based on real distribution network scenarios; Laboratory exercises with power system analysis tools; Collaborative design assignments to simulate professional tasks.
These applied activities ensure graduates are ready for technical challenges in industry.

4. Electives & Specialised Topics
Students can choose advanced topics to tailor their expertise, such as:
Smart grid technologies and automation; Cybersecurity in power distribution systems; Energy storage and distributed generation technologies.
These electives allow students to focus on areas of high relevance to contemporary power engineering trends.

5. Master’s Thesis
The final component of the programme is the Master’s thesis, where students independently research or design an engineering solution addressing a real challenge in power distribution systems. This capstone project synthesises analytical, technical and practical skills gained throughout the programme
