Master in Innovation in Electrical Systems for Energy

The second-level master in Innovation in Electrical Systems for Energy prepares engineers to design and manage the electricity grids of the future, in a system in which production from renewable sources, electric vehicles and new patterns of consumption require more flexible and controlled grids. The programme covers the smart management of electricity grids, emerging technologies for energy production and distribution, and the integration of renewable sources. The electricity system is going through a deep change, because of the growth of renewable sources, the spread of distributed generation and the need to make grids more flexible. The master addresses these topics with an engineering approach, starting from the smart management of grids and from emerging production and storage technologies.

The page does not describe the teaching methodology or whether there is an internship. The master lasts one year, takes place in person in Turin and is in Italian. The page does not give the credits, the cost, the start dates, or the enrolment deadline with the year; it only notes that enrolment is currently closed, so the university must be contacted to find out whether a new edition is planned. The page gives a MasterIN Fingerprint score of 7.2 out of 10. Being second-level, the master presupposes already solid education and offers specialist in-depth study, useful to those who deal with the design, operation and management of plants. Lessons take place in person in Turin, in Italian, and therefore require continuous participation for the whole year.

The aim is to train professionals for utilities, engineering firms, research centres and public bodies, with roles of responsibility and technical leadership. The master is aimed at master's graduates, or those with an equivalent qualification, in technical disciplines, with a background in electrical energy. It suits engineers already working in the energy sector who wish to update their knowledge of smart grids and the integration of renewables, or young graduates who want to specialise. The Polytechnic University of Turin is ranked 241st in the 2025 QS world rankings and 103rd in the European ones. The cost, stated as not available, and the dates must be checked with the university, together with the detailed admission requirements. The page notes that enrolment is currently closed, so those interested should check with the university whether a new edition is planned and on what dates. The price is not clearly stated.
