Description
The Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen Nürnberg has set up the master's study program Communications and Multimedia Engineering (CME) to further improve the study coditions for international students.
Communication and multimedia technologies have experienced a rapid growth within the last few years and have attained a high economic importance worldwide. This progress is mainly driven by theoretical achievements based on highly complex mathematical concepts and algorithms and by the application of modern abstract methods.
CME is designed for Bachelors from Electrical Engineering, Communication Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or Physics and emphasizes the fundamental concepts of advanced communications and multimedia.
The main contributors to the curriculum are the chairs for Multimedia Communications and Signal Processing, Information Transmission, and Mobile Communications, respectively. Based on a profound and broad working knowledge in these key areas, the students are also encouraged to pursue their personal interests in areas like audio, electronics, optical communication systems or medical image and video processing. Thereby, the curriculum paves the way to research and advanced development in world-class academic institutions and industry for audio, multimedia, and communications and many other areas where these qualifications are in high demand.
Opportunities for CME-students will be further enhanced by the newly created AudioLabs at the Fraunhofer Institute of Integrated Circuits. The Fraunhofer Institute is already widely known for its invention of the MP3, and CME participants will now have the ability to take advantage of its new audio research center, the only one of its kind in Europe.
The program structure complies with internationally recognized master programs and meets the requirements for subsequent doctoral studies.
Contents
Four semesters are intended for the duration of the course. A beginning of the CME course of studies is possible for the winter semester. Thus the CME programme leads within four semesters to a degree Master of Science (M.Sc.).
Modern teaching methods tailored to individual needs express the special character of the CME course of studies.
The curriculum contains 120 credit points within four semesters.
Selective admission, individual support and advice as well as courses on high scientific level will guarantee profoundness of education and shortened duration of study. A dense program is provided by the regular lectures and by additional lab courses.

Requirements
Qualification for the Master Study Course CME is proven by:
* the acquisition of a Bachelor/Master or Diploma degree at a German or foreign scientific university in one of the courses of studies Electrical Engineering, Information and Communication Technology, Computer Science with emphasis on multimedia and communication oriented subjects or a comparable course. Equivalence of the subject of an external degree is judged by the selection committee.
Alternatively the following conditions apply to candidates from courses of Diploma studies mentioned, where still no Bachelor program exists...
* who is registered in one of the specified courses of studies
* who has finished the diploma preliminary tests up to the end of the fourth term
* who has reached an excellent grade far above the average grade in the diploma preliminary tests
* who has performed further - as relevantly classified by the selection committee - study and test achievements of the main study to the extent of two terms
* who did not exceed the sixth term.
The admission into the CME master study course takes place after passing the procedure for determination of eligibility for CME. This procedure is accomplished upon the request of the applying student.
