Master of Science in Integrated Circuit Design

The international Master of Science in Integrated Circuit Design programme, which is offered jointly by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technical University of Munich (TUM), aims to educate the next generation of engineers and entrepreneurial leaders for the fast-moving semiconductor industry. The programme content ranges from analogue, digital and mixed-circuit design over architectural concepts for integrated circuits to design methodology and automation. Product manufacturing and testing are also addressed. Integrated circuit design is also placed in a broader context, e.g., by teaching fundamental concepts of signal processing which are at the core of today's communications circuits. Students will also be taught essential non-technical topics such as product marketing, international management, patent law, and aspects of culture and globalisation. This will be done mainly by highly qualified freelancers from our industry partners. Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be awarded a joint Master's degree from NTU and TUM.
