About this programme

Master’s Programme in Embedded Systems – Key Technology for Tomorrow’s Innovations Embedded systems drive today’s most advanced technologies – from medical devices and automotive solutions to aerospace, telecommunications, and media‑entertainment. By sensing the world, “thinking” through intelligent algorithms, and “acting” via actuators, these systems perform a staggering variety of tasks. Our Master’s programme equips you with a comprehensive blend of computer‑science and engineering expertise, preparing you for roles as a research scientist, project leader, or technology strategist. You will master the “languages” of both software and hardware, learning to design, analyse, and optimise complex embedded solutions. You can either pursue a broad, interdisciplinary curriculum that spans computer science and micro‑systems engineering, or focus your studies on one of the following specialisation tracks: Artificial Intelligence – AI‑driven perception, decision‑making, and control for smart devices Biomedical Engineering – Embedded solutions for diagnostics, therapy, and wearable health technology Circuits and Systems – Design and verification of high‑performance analogue, mixed‑signal, and digital circuits Cyber‑Physical Systems – Integration of computation, networking, and physical processes Materials and Fabrication – Advanced materials, nanofabrication, and MEMS technologies for next‑generation devices Photonics – Optical sensors, communication, and photonic integration in emb
