Can you clarify the available courses related to electrical and electronic engineering, drafting, CAD, and power electronics in UK/Germany for a Master's?
Pure drafting is not offered as a standalone Master's; instead, CAD and power electronics are built into Electrical and Electronic Engineering programs. Strong options include RWTH Aachen's M.Sc. Electrical Power Engineering, TUM's M.Sc. Power Engineering, and Edinburgh's MSc Electrical Power Engineering, covering converters, smart grids, and industry CAD software.
You will not find a standalone Master's degree in drafting, since CAD, CAE, and EDA tools are woven directly into Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Power Electronics programs rather than taught on their own. If your interest leans toward power and energy systems, target a Power Engineering-focused Master's; if it leans toward physical hardware layout, target a Mechatronics or Electrical Systems Engineering program instead. Here are the strongest named programs in Germany and the UK to compare.
Top Master's Programs for Power Electronics and CAD
| University | Program | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| RWTH Aachen University | M.Sc. Electrical Power Engineering | Power electronics, electrical machines, high-voltage equipment, industry CAD tools |
| Technical University of Munich | M.Sc. Power Engineering | Smart grids, battery technology, power conversion, computer-aided design labs |
| TU Darmstadt | M.Sc. Electrical Engineering and Information Technology | Power electronics research, drive systems, semiconductor design software |
| University of Edinburgh | MSc Electrical Power Engineering | Power systems, electrical machines, power conversion labs |
| Imperial College London / University of Manchester | MSc Analogue and Digital IC Design / Electrical Power Engineering | EDA software for chip layout, PCB design, power systems modelling |
How to Pick the Right Track
- Choose a Power Electronics or Electrical Power Engineering Master's if you want deep technical expertise in converters, drives, and renewable energy integration.
- Choose Mechatronics, Automotive Systems, or Electrical Systems Engineering if your real interest is CAD, CAE, and physical hardware design.
- German universities like RWTH Aachen and TUM offer no or very low tuition fees at public institutions, which is worth weighing against UK program costs.
- Check whether each program is English-taught end to end, since some German options mix English and German modules.
My Advice
Tell me directly whether you are more drawn to the power and energy side, like EV powertrains and smart grids, or the physical hardware and CAD/PCB design side, since that answer alone will cut your shortlist from six programs to two or three. Once you decide, I can walk you through the exact entry requirements and application deadlines for RWTH Aachen, TUM, and Edinburgh so you do not miss an intake.
