This master’s degree allowed me to further my knowledge in my field. Although I gained new competencies through the whole study process, writing my thesis was the most beneficial, as that’s when I really immersed myself in a topic that attracted me. I chose the Data Analytics Competence as an MA+ pathway. The energy sector is now highly advanced, with many consumers having smart meters, so knowing how to process this data is very important.

I wanted to continue my studies in Electrical Power Engineering, so I didn’t have to think long about the programme. The studies were of high quality, with relevant content and competent lecturers. After my master’s degree, I changed my career direction from an installer to a designer. This was an important step in my professional career.
