Master’s in Energy Markets and Commercial Strategy Engineering for e-Mobility — studying from Canada

Canada's technology and engineering sectors rely on strong business and management capabilities, with concentrations of innovation in Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver and Calgary. Federal and provincial governments support industrial strategy, research funding and regulatory policy affecting engineering firms. Professionals in this area often manage engineering programmes, lead technology commercialisation and advise on compliance and public procurement. Large employers include the major banks, consulting firms and national engineering companies.

Fees for Canada: C$10,800 (Canadian dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Canada

Which Canadian bodies regulate qualifications in business or technology management?

Business and management qualifications in Canada are not generally licensed by a single regulator in the way engineering is. Professional designations such as CPA Canada for accounting or the Project Management Institute's credentials are separate bodies with their own requirements. SEIUM's qualifications are private, not official state degrees and not accredited by a national body, so recognition is decided by employers or the relevant body.

Do Canadian employers value technology policy and management training from a private school?

It depends on the employer and the role. Canadian organisations hiring for technology strategy, policy or management usually weigh experience, results and recognised credentials. A private qualification may support your CV, particularly alongside a final project showing applied work, but it is not guaranteed to be valued. Clarify expectations with target employers before enrolling.

How demanding is this alongside work, and how are fees handled?

The programmes are fully online and suit working professionals studying at their own pace. Specialist courses take 300 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 and master's programmes 1,900, so consider your weekly capacity. Teaching is in English, with an assigned technical tutor. Fees are payable in instalments, and some employers sponsor staff, which you should ask your own employer about.

How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so the programme is compatible with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulations and standards, and applied exercises. The working software is Python, QGIS, Microsoft Power BI and PLEXOS, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are built on real procedures: electricity market price analysis for charging, tariff design for a charging network and smart charging optimisation for fleets. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR), Regulation (EU) 2024/1747, Directive (EU) 2023/2413 (RED III), ISO 15118, ITC-BT-52 of the Spanish Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation, IEC 61851, Directive (EU) 2024/1275, Spanish Royal Decree 184/2022.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of AFIR, the 2024 electricity market design reform and RED III applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Python, QGIS, Microsoft Power BI and PLEXOS, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
