Skills and results
What you will learn
You will understand the fundamentals of electromagnetic compatibility in the context of the electric vehicle and EVSE: what EMC is, what EMI is, how emissions are generated, and how the immunity of sensitive systems is affected. You will see why EV EMC is more demanding than in traditional internal combustion vehicles, due to power electronics, HV batteries, and electric chargers. You will learn to differentiate between conducted and radiated emissions, between differential and common-mode noise, and how all of this impacts the electrical architecture of the EV and the charging station.
You will master the map of EMC/EMI standards applicable to electric vehicles and EVSE: automotive standards, grid standards, emission limits, immunity tests, compatibility tests with the electrical infrastructure and with other vehicle equipment. You will learn to read an OEM specification from the EV EMC perspective, to translate those requirements into design criteria, and to prepare an EMC test plan for an electric vehicle subsystem or for an EVSE electric charger.
You will delve into the sources of EV EMI: traction inverters, DC-DC converters, on-board chargers, fast chargers, battery modules, BMS, electric motors, relays and contactors, communication buses, and control electronics. You will study how high-frequency switching, voltage slopes, and parasitic currents generate EV EMC issues, and how these can couple into wiring, structures, and unintended antennas both in the electric vehicle and in the EVSE.
You will learn to design hardware, wiring, and architecture with EMC/EMI in mind from the very beginning. You will see best practices for power PCB layout, return paths, separation between power and signal traces, HV and LV wiring design in the vehicle, grounding topologies, and placement of filters and shields. You will work on how all of this integrates into EV EMC and into the electromagnetic compatibility of AC and DC electric chargers.
You will specialize in EMC/EMI in EVSE: domestic wallboxes, semi-fast AC chargers, DC fast chargers, and public charging solutions. You will study how these devices connect to the grid, what compatibility requirements they must meet, what interference they can generate in the installation and in other equipment, and how to design filters and protections so that an EVSE is electromagnetically compatible. You will understand the relationship between EVSE EMC and the EV EMC of the connected vehicle.

Master’s in EMC/EMI for Electric Vehicles and EVSE
The Master’s in EMC/EMI in Electric Vehicles and EVSE is aimed at engineers and technicians in electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications, automotive, energy, and related fields who want to specialize in electromagnetic compatibility applied to the electric vehicle and to EVSE electric chargers. It is especially suitable for professionals who already work in power electronics design, OBC, inverters, converters, wallboxes, fast chargers, or in EV system integration, and who wish to deepen their knowledge of EV EMC and EVSE EMC as a key discipline. A basic knowledge of circuits, signals, power electronics, and handling of technical tools (spreadsheets, basic simulation) is recommended. The ideal profile combines an interest in EMC/EMI with motivation for the EV ecosystem and for robust system design in complex environments.
SEIUM proposes the Master’s in EMC/EMI in Electric Vehicles and EVSE as a direct response to a common shortcoming: many master’s programs address electric vehicles, batteries, or power electronics, but few focus on EV EMC and EV EMI as a primary design and industrialization problem. This program places electromagnetic compatibility at the center of development, covering both the electric vehicle and the EVSE, as well as the grid interface. The approach combines technical rigor, standards, practical design, review of real failures, reading of laboratory reports, and projects oriented toward the day-to-day work of an EMC/EMI in EV and EVSE engineer. The flexible online format allows the master’s to be combined with professional activity, incorporating real company cases and documentation into the classroom, with the goal that graduates can bring immediate value to automotive EMC and EVSE EMC projects.
