Enrolling for this plan is also possible having completed the Preparatory Programme Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering unless other conditions are specified below.
The Energy track of the Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering (BRUFACE) (120 ECTS) is built up modularly:
1) Common Core Courses
2) Partially Common Courses
3) Master Project (to select 1 out of 4)
4) Specific Courses
5) Master Thesis
6) Electives
Each of the modules should be successfully completed to obtain the master degree. The student must respect the specified registration requirements. The educational board strongly suggests the student to follow the model learning track. Only this model track can guarantee a time schedule without overlaps of the compulsory course units.
These common core courses must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track 'Energy'.
Common Core MA1
These common courses must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track 'Energy'..
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 19 ECTS credits.
| 5ECTS credits - Control System Design |
| 5ECTS credits - Design Methodology |
| 4ECTS credits - Data-Driven Engineering |
| 5ECTS credits - Electrical Drives |
Common Core MA1
This common course must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track 'Energy'.
Remark: for the 'Aeronautics' and the 'Energy' track, 'Turbomachinery' is a 5 ECTS course; for the 'Robotics and Mechanical Construction' and the 'SustainableTransport and Automotive Engineering' track, it is a 3 ECTS course.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 5 ECTS credits.
| 5ECTS credits - Turbomachinery |
These partially common courses must be successfully completed in the 1st and 2nd year of the model learning track 'Energy'.
Partially Common Courses MA1
These partially common courses must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track 'Energy'.

All modules of specific courses mentioned below must be successfully completed. Registration for these specific courses is allowed provided that the student has already successfully accomplished or is registered for at least 30 ECTS of common and/or partially common compulsory courses.
Specific courses MA1 - Energy
These specific courses must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track Energy.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 24 ECTS credits.
Specific courses MA2 - Energy
These specific courses must be successfully completed in the 2nd year of the model learning track Energy.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 16 ECTS credits.
| 3ECTS credits - Electric Traction |
| 5ECTS credits - Energy policy, sustainability & management |
| 4ECTS credits - Thermal Power Plants |
| 4ECTS credits - Renewable Energy Technology |
The Master Thesis (24 ECTS) is compulsory. Registration for the Master Thesis is allowed provided that
1. the student doesn't have a combined bachelor-master enrollment
2. the student has already successfully accomplished 45 ECTS of compulsory courses of the master program (exemptions included).
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 24 ECTS credits.
| 24ECTS credits - Master Thesis Electromechanical Engineering |
| 24ECTS credits - Master Thesis Electromechanical Engineering ULB |
In the 2nd year of the model learning track Energy, students must successfully complete 17 ECTS of elective courses. Registration for the electives is allowed on condition the student has already successfully accomplished at least 30 ECTS of compulsory courses of the Master in Electromechanical Engineering.
Students have to give priority to the master specific electives. They can choose these electives from the list mentioned below, or from outside of this list when sufficiently motivated and subject to approval by the chair person of the program. At most 6 ECTS of electives can be chosen outside of the list below.
This module also includes two optional Internships.
Remarks for students who want to select an Intership as part of their electives:
1. It is not allowed to register for both Interships.
2. The optional intership should preferably take place during the summer holidays in order to avoid interference with the course scheduling.
Prerequisites for taking one of the optional Internships:
1. The student must hold the diploma that is required for admission to this master. Students with a combined inscription bachelor-master, are not allowed to enroll for an optional intership; and
2; The student has already successfully accomplished at least 40 ECTS of compulsory courses of the master programme (exemptions included).
Don't forget to look at the Bruface internship regulations on the website: http://www.bruface.eu/information-for-current-students .
Please consider carefully the required background knowledge before selecting these courses. Pay specific attention to the courses classified as specialised.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 17 ECTS credits.
