Location of Linköping University
This master programme concentrates on technologies for System-on-Chip devices. A System-on-Chip is a highly sophisticated multiprocessor computer, integrated on a single piece of silicon and composed of hundreds of millions of transistors which typically consists of digital, analogue, mixed-signal, and often radio-frequency functions combined with a complex software layer.
Designing and using such a complex system requires multiple skills, beyond a traditional specialisation in electronics, computers or software. These skills are needed for the design of complex Systems-on-Chip, consisting of analogue/RF ASICs, digital ASICs and embedded software.
A wide range of fast developing industry sectors are generating an increasing demand for skilled professionals in the System-on-Chips and Electronic Systems area. The programme serves as a solid basis for professional opportunities as a skilled System-on-Chip engineer in industry. It also constitutes an excellent platform for a possible continuation as a PhD student.
Contents
The System-on-Chip master's programme provides students with more interdisciplinary skills than a regular Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering curriculum. Mandatory courses provide students with the broad understanding needed to master the field. The programme's wide selection of elective courses allows for specialisation in a chosen area, such as analogue/RF design, digital design or embedded systems.
The programme is firmly anchored in the nationally and internationally recognised research conducted in the area of electronic systems at Linköping University.

Requirements
- A Bachelor's degree (a Swedish kandidatexamen) or equivalent academic qualifications from an internationally recognised university. The university has to be listed in the latest edition of the International Handbook of Universities.
- Proof of skills in English. This is normally attested by means of an internationally recognised test.
- The specific requirements stated for each programme
A bachelor's degree awarded in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nepal must in most cases be of four years or followed by a master's degree to meet the admission requirements.
Applicants who do not hold the required degree are eligible provided that they can prove that they are registered for the last semester of a programme leading to such a degree. An official document stating that they are likely to be awarded the degree before the start of the programme must be sent in with the application. The degree certificate has to be presented by 15 October.
Specific requirements
Applicants are expected to have:
- a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent.
- at least 20 ECTS credits in mathematics or applications of mathematics including Continuous and Discrete Mathematics and Statistics.
Language tests in English
Applicants must have documented skills in English corresponding to the level of English in Swedish upper secondary education (English B). For applicants who have not studied in Swedish upper secondary education, skills in English are normally attested to by means of an international language test, such as:
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) - Paper-based score of 4.5 (scale 1-6) in the written test with a total score of 575 and Internet-based score of 20 (scale 0-30) in the written test with a total score of 90. NB! TOEFL Examinee Score Records are not accepted. All TOEFL tests must be sent straight from Educational Testing Service (ETS).
- International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) - Academic modules, an overall mark of 6.5 and no section below 5.5
- Cambridge ESOL Certificate of Proficiency in English/CPE or Certificate in Advanced English/CAE.
