This master’s programme prepares you for assessing the impact of new technologies and solving difficult problems. You learn to analyse, design, and implement analogue and digital electronic systems, information systems and communication systems.

About the programme:

The master’s programme in Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology gives you a broad basis of general skills and technical knowledge. At the same time, you feel at home in the fascinating world of information processing. Based on your knowledge of electronics and ICT, you can correctly estimate the operation and the impact of the technologies used. You can analyse both existing analogue and digital electronic systems and design and implement new systems. You are also able to analyse, design and implement complex information and communication systems. Students learn to analyse both existing analogue and digital electronic systems and design and implement new systems.

To compile your programme, you select an R&D Experience, an option package as well as an additional elective course. Depending on your selection, you focus more on either hardware or software. You can choose from two main options: 

• The Intelligent Electronics option refers to the combination of hardware and software used to develop and implement embedded systems (cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras). You will learn to consider limitations in the areas of I/O possibilities, memory, speed and energy consumption.

• The Internet Computing option follows the trend of a broadly distributed approach to developing applications. The advantages of this approach include high reliability, scalability, high performance, easy maintenance and low cost.

You also choose an R&D Experience. This gives you the opportunity to realise a challenging project in a team context.

Study abroad:

The Faculty of Engineering Technology has made a radical choice for an international orientation. Discover a wide range of possibilities to spend part of your study programme abroad, to take an internship or a summer school, even up to one year after graduation.

Student profile

• You are fascinated by science and technology and want to put your theoretical knowledge into practice.

• You are intrigued by analogue and digital electronic systems and you are interested in complex information and communication systems.

• Applications such as smartphones, GPS, wireless internet connections, iPod  fascinate you ... and you want to help develop them.
