Master E-PiCo (Electric Vehicle Propulsion and Control)

E-PiCo-Electrical Vehicle Propulsion and Control

The Joint Master's program E-PiCo has been successfully selected under the European Programmes of Excellence: through the Erasmus Mundus Programme for 4 intakes.

E-Pico is a 2-year Joint Master program implemented and fully supported by 4 major European Higher Education Institutions:

• Ecole Centrale de Nantes, (ECN - Coordinator), France
• Christian-Albrechts-Universität (CAU) zu Kiel / Kiel University, Germany
• Università degli Studi dell’Aquila (UAQ), Italy
• NAtional University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest (U.N.S.T.P.B.), Romania

Moreover, Ecole de Technologie Supérieure (Canada), CINVESTEAV (Mexico) and Wuhan University (China), participate in the program as associate partners where students can spend their last semester for the Master Thesis (S4). Airbus, Renault Groupe, IAV GmbH, Honda, Modis, Pure Power Control (P2C), Digipower, Tekne, ECA Group and Jungheinrich are the major industrial corporations involved in E-PiCo.

E-PiCo offers useful and necessary multidisciplinary topics in the e-mobility field and E-PiCo will provide technical and scientific solutions to the issue of fossil consumption and greenhouse gas emission. It is devised to train students in the field of e-mobility in order to have them work towards ecological transition.
It is directly applicable to the industry by training future electric propulsion system, expert graduates.

Through lectures by reputable researchers, practical work on the latest experimental platforms, sessions with industrial specialists, annual workshops, E-PiCo students acquire the most advanced knowledge that will prepare them for the upcoming challenges in e-mobility.

The language of instruction is English across the two years.
