About the Program
The Master's degree in Microelectronic Systems focuses on the field of microelectronics, which is at the heart of information engineering. The program encompasses the design, production, testing and application of microelectronic and optoelectronic components. Students learn about integrated circuits (ICs) and their applications in various industries including automotive, traffic engineering, production technology, and telecommunications. The course teaches competencies in planning, development, process planning, manufacturing, assembly, and quality control. It is run in cooperation with West Coast University of Applied Sciences (FHW) in Heide, with HAW Hamburg providing teaching in winter semesters and FHW in summer semesters. The program builds on students' existing knowledge and enables them to apply scientific methodologies to complex problems in professional and research settings. Lectures cover integrated circuit production, component configuration and programming, and system creation, including topics like EDA, CAE, and CAD. The course concludes with a Master's thesis in the third semester.
