Location of Karlstad University
This master programme, given entirely in English, is a two-year course which builds on a three-year bachelor degree in electrical engineering or equivalent. The programme offers high-level training in the main subject of signals and systems, and the objective is to provide students with advanced expertise in this field of electrical engineering.
For a Master’s degree in engineering students must meet the following requirements as specified in the Higher Education Ordinance:
Knowledge and understanding
Upon completion of the master programme students must
* demonstrate knowledge and understanding of their major field of engineering, that is, broad knowledge in the area and substantially deeper knowledge in certain parts of the field, together with insight into current research and development work, and
* demonstrate deeper methodological knowledge in their major field of study.
Skills and abilities
Upon completion of the master programme students must
* demonstrate ability to critically and systematically integrate knowledge and analyse, evaluate and handle complex phenomena, issues and situations even with limited information, demonstrate critical, independent and creative ability to identify and formulate issues, and to plan and carry out qualified tasks using appropriate methods within specified time limits, so as to contribute to knowledge development and evaluate the work,
* demonstrate ability to clearly present and discuss their conclusions and the data and arguments behind them in dialogue with different groups, orally and in writing, in national and international contexts, and
* demonstrate the ability required to participate in research and development or to work independently in other qualified professions.
Judgement and approach
Upon completion of the master programme students must
* demonstrate ability to make assessments in the major field of study taking into account relevant scientific, social and ethical aspects, and show awareness of the ethics of research and development,
* demonstrate insight into the potential and limitations of science, its role in society and people’s responsibility for its use, and
* demonstrate ability to identify their need of further knowledge and continuously upgrade their knowledge.
Contents
The programme starts in the autumn every year. You will mainly take courses in electrical engineering, focused on signals and systems. The programme includes a master thesis project.
Form of Instruction
Teaching typically consists of lectures, tutorials, and computer assignments, being assessed by written examinations, project reports, and course work.
Examination
Examination usually takes place at the end of each course. Mostly there are written exams, but also oral exams as well as project works and assignments may occur.
