The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory elective courses and elective courses.
Compulsory courses year 1
During the first year, the programme starts with five compulsory courses that form a common foundation in wireless, photonics and space engineering. Each course is 7.5 credits.
Electromagnetic waves and components
Wireless and photonics system engineering
Microwave engineering
Space science and techniques
Photonics and lasers
Compulsory courses year 2
In the second year, you must complete a master's thesis in order to graduate. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.
Master’s thesis
Compulsory elective courses
Through compulsory elective courses, you can then specialize in wireless, photonics or space engineering, or a combination thereof. During years 1 and 2, you need to select at least three compulsory elective courses out of the following in order to graduate.
Active microwave circuits
Electromagnetic sensor systems
Antenna engineering
Integrated photonics
Radar systems and applications
Design of MMIC
Optoelectronics
Satellite communication
Semiconductor devices for modern electronics
Millimetre wave and THz technology
Fibre optical communication
Satellite positioning
Wireless link project
Elective courses
You will also be able to select courses outside of your programme plan. These are called elective courses. You can choose from a wide range of elective courses, including the following:
Image processing
Spectroscopy
Introduction to communication engineering
Radio astronomical techniques and interferometry
Applied signal processing
Introduction to microsystems packaging
Fundamentals of micro- and nanotechnology
Introduction to law
Computational electromagnetics
Implementation of digital signal processing systems
