The MSc MobCom aims at providing the theoretical background and the applied know-how for engineers in Mobile Communication Systems. 

The goal is to tackle the problems from a system viewpoint, taking a vertical cut and following a cross-layer design approach. This corresponds to both the most recent trend in research and to the most desired professional profile for engineers in this field.

In fact, it is now well-recognized that problems related to physical layer transmission techniques (RF design, signal processing algorithms, channel coding and modulation), and upper layer protocols (link layer control, multiple-access, routing), that were traditionally treated in a separate fashion in wired networks, must be treated jointly in mobile communication networks. 

Environment:

Sophia-Antipolis is considered as a major European region for telecommunications research and development in southern France. EURECOM, which is a consortium of academic and industrial partners, has established over the years a synergy with the local industrial environment on advanced research topics. 

During their Master of Science, students will benefit form the expertise of renowned industrial partners (Alcatel, Bouygues, SFR, France Télécom R&D, Philips, Thales, ST Microelectronics, Hitachi, Texas Instruments, IBM, BMW, SAP, Sharp, ESA) as well as the use of cutting edge technological platforms within EURECOM's Wireless Communication laboratory.

Awarded Degree: Master's degree fully recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. The degree is co-delivered by EURECOM and the INSTITUT MINES TELECOM (French leading consortium of the best Engineering Schools in France).The degree allows for further Phd Studies.

Admission requirements:

To be eligible, candidates need

• Bachelor's Degree (minimum 3 years of higher education) in a relevant field
• Strong foundation in mathematics
• Certified B2 level in English. Also, French classes will be compulsory during your stay at EURECOM, the obtention of a A2 certification being needed to obtain the degree.

Course description:

Students need to validate a certain amount of credits per Teaching Unit each semester. The curriculum offers great flexibility by offering many electrive courses. Please consult the Academic Schedule and the Frequently Asked Questions for more Information about the schedule organisation.
