Programme Description

Telecommunication technology is a key enabler for today´s information society. The rapidly increasing demand for speed and capacity, which more than doubles every two years, makes it a field with strong dynamics, rapid aging of existing technologies and frequent introduction of new technologies in the network. Telecommunication technology is one of the broadest specializations; it integrates knowledge from the fields of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Applied Physics, Chemical Engineering and Technology Management. The TU/e is an internationally recognized center of excellence in the field of Broadband Telecommunication Technologies.
The Master´s degree program in Broadband Telecommunication Technologies is broadly based, including compulsory courses in electromagnetism, physics, mathematics, digital network technology and performance analysis. Wireless and optical communication systems and networks and RF electronic and photonic devices also form part of the program. You can choose your elective courses from a list of more than thirty subjects. These include photonic ICs, network operation, computational electromagnetics, adaptive signal processing, ultra-fast optical switching and coding theory.
The program also contains courses on professional development and two internships. Your studies are completed by a research project.
This is a special Master´s degree program which formally forms part of the Master´s degree program Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. This special Master´s degree program will become an independent program in the future.
