This programme contains both theory and applications and prepares you for advanced engineering work in industry or for graduate studies.
Wave propagation and signal processing are important fields in the technical society of today. There are many technical and industrial applications that require knowledge of both these subjects, notably wireless communication and antenna and microwave technology.
During the first year you will study the mathematical and statistical methods that are the foundations of advanced level telecommunications theory. You will also meet applications in the form of radio systems and microwave and antenna technology.
In the second year you can specialize theoretically or study adjacent subjects such as physics or computer science. Some courses are given every other year and can thus be studied during year 1 or 2. The thesis work is a process where you transform your knowledge into scientific writing. In this you will benefit from the elements of research methodology that are contained in the programme.
The programme features courses of 7.5 HEC each, which consist of lectures, seminars, practicals and mandatory assignments.
Contents
Some courses are only offered every other year and are thus available either in year 1 or 2. The programme is offered by the School of Computer Science, Physics and Mathematics. The main subject area of the programme is Electrical Engineering. Most courses are optional and could be replaced by other relevant courses after consulting the programme director.
The overall responsibility for the programme lies with the programme director. The
programme consists of 120 Higher Education Credits, or 2 years of fulltime
studies.
