About this program
Electrical engineering is indispensable for technological innovation. Do you want to push the boundaries of what is possible in electrical engineering? In this Master's, you will work on high-tech applications in sectors as diverse as the chip industry, healthcare, energy, aerospace, and telecommunications.
For example, you could work on the latest generation of chips, implantable medical sensors, more efficient solar panels, smart power grids, AI-driven pattern recognition, or advanced communication systems. You will learn to analyse, design and optimise electrical components and systems, with a strong focus on signal processing and hardware development. You will build expertise within one of eleven specialisations, including wireless communication, biomedical systems, nanosystems, integrated circuit design, robotics and energy systems. After graduation, you can start a career in R&D, industry, or academic research, where you can contribute to pioneering technologies.
