About this programme

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Students interested in the Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics major must apply for the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology . Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose one of the following five majors: Electrical Power Engineering, Micro- and Nanoelectronics , Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, or Biomedical Systems Engineering. The domain- and subject-specific skills and competences attained at the Master's level in electrical engineering and information technology build upon the skills and competences from the Bachelor's level. Within the field of microelectronics and nanoelectronics, graduate coursework provides a high level of specialisation, research-related training, and in-depth, domain-specific knowledge at a professional level. The field of microelectronics and nanoelectronics is a cross-disciplinary field covering knowledge and skills from other specialisations, such as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and information and communication technology as well as electrical power engineering and the interactions with the following topics specific to microelectronics and nanoelectronics: devices, sensors, actuators, measurement instrumentation, and technology for fabrication analogue, mixed-signal, high frequency, and digital circuit design architecture, systems, and selected applications of VLSI systems In many aspects, the field of microelectronics and nanoelectronics is a system scien
