What

Electronics and ICT have become indispensable disciplines in modern society, and cover many aspects: mobile phones, chatting and Skyping, cruise control, hospital equipment, car engine injections, railway traffic monitoring, domotics, ... The Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology programme offers in-depth knowledge of electronics and ICT, and has three main subjects.

The Electronics main subject covers advanced electronic circuits and systems design, analogous as well as digital: microprocessors and signal processors for audio, video and telecommunication, high frequency circuits and measuring equipment. Electronics is steadily evolving towards hardware/software code design, whereby the boundary between software and hardware becomes increasingly blurred.

For whom

The admission requirements vary. Depending on your prior education, you are either able to enrol directly, or there are additional requirements.

Structure

Our Master's programme in Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology is a continuation of the academic Bachelor’s programme in Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology.

The Master’s programme has three main subjects, and the Master’s curriculum consists of three components: two mandatory course units (amounting to 12 ECTS credits), the Master's dissertation (18 ECTS credits), and a window of 30 ECTS credits to take up as follows: a course unit with social relevance (3 ECTS credits), a fixed set of course units (15 ECTS credits), and a window of 12 ECTS credits to be spent on electives of your choice.

The Master's dissertation forms a bridge between your study programme and your job as engineer. The competencies you have acquired throughout the study programme come together in the Master’s dissertation: you use them to devise, develop, implement and validate an original solution to a complex problem. Your Master's dissertation topic ties in as closely as possible with real-life problems junior engineers or researchers encounter in professional life (either in academia or in the industry).

Labour Market

Our alumni end up in a variety of sectors: in electronics, with suppliers of information and communication technology (incl. radio, TV, phone, internet and multimedia applications), software development, speech recognition, computer vision, sensor technology, micromachines, medical electronics, electronics for physics and optics, transportation, energy production and distribution, etc...

You are immediately employable in technical jobs as well as jobs that require a high degree of independence and creativity. You know how to initiate, plan and lead projects as a design engineer, an ICT engineer, a software engineer, an R&D engineer, an automation engineer, a systems engineer, a maintenance engineer, a service engineer, a quality engineer, as research staff, as high-ranking civil servant, as manager, as technical-commercial manager, or as study programme manager.
