Communications and Electronics Engineering

The program in Communications and Electronics Engineering deals with communications systems and the electronics of communications systems. The program strongly emphasizes practical application, both in terms of the first practical experience of research and close cooperation with industry partners. Two areas of specialization are offered: Communications Systems and Communications Electronics. Communications Systems focuses on the theoretical and systemic aspects of communications systems and their application. This includes signal processing strategies, as well as information and network theory. Communications Electronics concentrates primarily on hardware implementation and the development of integrated circuits. For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree program documentation: Degree program documentation for the master's program in Communications and Electronics Engineering (PDF) Which further expertise and skills will I acquire? As a graduate you are able to deal independently with complex problems relating to your chosen area of specialization and develop products tailored to market requirements. You have acquired advanced knowledge of engineering methodologies and can formulate, model and simulate concrete solutions. Being familiar with the latest research, you apply your specialist knowledge in a targeted manner to engineering practice. You take on responsibilities in the implementation of major discipline-specific and professional projects and coordinate interdisciplinary cooperation within teams. As such, you are conscious of the ethical, ecological, commercial and industrial consequences of your actions. Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification? The completion of the master’s program opens up job opportunities in development at communications technology companies, as well as telecommunications service providers and manufacturers of electronic components and systems. Further opportunities arise at research institutions. Program structure The core of the master’s program in Communications Engineering consists in specializing in either Communications Systems or Communications Electronics. The relevant modules are accompanied by a nine-week research project. The first semester covers the fundamentals in the areas of Communications Systems and Communications Electronics, independent of your chosen specialization. In the second and third semesters, the relevant modules bring the disciplinary focus in the chosen area of specialization to the fore. As a rule, practical research takes place between the second and third semesters. In the context of a seminar, a concrete topic of research is elaborated upon. The chosen specialist modules are complemented by modules relating to other areas of specialization that offer the possibility of further personal development or interdisciplinary supplementation. The fourth semester is devoted to the master’s thesis, in which the accrued knowledge of the specialist area and methodology is applied in handling a major task.
