Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The ability to dream, the power to create.

The Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering responds to the growing needs of interconnected sectors of science and technology and educates highly competitive researchers and professionals in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering.

In addition to attending regular lectures offered by our internationally acclaimed professors, students gain valuable practical experience with laboratory activities and research projects. This degree covers both theoretical foundations and practical aspects of the discipline.

Students may choose a specialization in:

microelectronic circuits and systems
electronic technologies and device-circuit interactions
bioelectronics
internet of things (IoT)
data science and systems
signal, image, video and communication
wireless and photonics circuits and systems

Program’s objectives

Students are prepared for a wide variety of careers in academia or in industry, such as electronics and microelectronics, information technologies (RF-engineering, photonics, signal and image processing), telecommunications, multimedia, mechatronics, power systems, biomedical instruments, electric drives and aerospace.

The program is an excellent preparation, for both the option of doing a PhD or working in industry.
