Exam: in June

Aalborg University

In addition to the participation fee, you should expect expenses for literature, meals, transportation, and possibly accommodation.

It is expected that the module will be partly offered via physical teaching, but online or hybrid teaching will also be used to the extent relevant.

The module is offered in English.

The module is assessed internally through submission of laboratory exercise reports.

The module is affiliated with the section for 'power electronic systems, integration and materials' at Aalborg University, Department of Energy, and will be offered by world-leading researchers and teachers in the field.
