Core skills and competence
The two-year programme has three specialisation options:
- Electronics Design
- Electronics Materials and Components
- Future Electronics and Measurement Techniques.
Students can select one of the following study options: Electronics Design, Electronics Materials and Components, or Future Electronics and Measurement Techniques. In addition to the student’s preference, the field of their Bachelor's or equivalent studies and the possible interview are taken into account when the study option is confirmed.
There are no entrance-exams or pre-determined quotas of study places for Electronics Design, Electronics Materials and Components and Future Electronics and Measurement Techniques study options. It is important to notice that mandatory courses of one specialization option can be taken as elective courses in other option, if a student wishes to broaden their expertise into the area of other study option.
Electronics Design
Studies is Electronics Design focus on analog and digital circuits and systems design, with the main emphasis on design and verification of integrated circuits.
