International Masters Program

Information and Communications Engineering deals with the digital processing of data and signals. Today, the state of the art I&C technologies have a major impact on most busi-ness and industrial processes as well as on many services. Integrated in numerous devices, they also revolutionize everyday life and global communications.

Graduates of our masters program work in a fast-changing work environment in various sectors of the economy. They plan, design, implement or configure fixed or mobile tele-communications systems, communication networks (e.g. Car-to-Car, Smart Grid), data networks (e.g. for automation), home area networks, internet based systems and products or sensor networks. To name just a few other possibilities, you will also find our graduates in areas such as IT-Security, interactive media, software and hardware development as well as system integration.

Course description

During the first semester, the students extend and deepen their knowledge in the fundamental areas of Data Trans-mission, Optical and Wireless Communications as well as of Advanced Signal Processing. During the second semester, the emphasis is on various network technologies (Internet Protocols, Networks and Applications). A set of elective modules provide the opportunity to specialize according to personal career goals. The last semester is devoted to applied research and development work in order to design and implement new engineering solutions and systems. Throughout the whole program, communication skills, team-working abilities, intercultural competence and methodological training skills are also developed.
