About the Program

Microchips play a crucial role in almost all future technologies, in driving economic growth, and in shaping strategic industrial policies. The English-taught Master's program in Microelectronics and Chip Design (M.Sc.), offered in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark, Tampere University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Institut Mines-Télécom, equips students with the expertise to develop and implement highly innovative chip designs. The program is based on the latest research and is also strongly practice-oriented. Students dive deeply into the mathematical methods, physical principles, and electronic fundamentals of circuit design and chip development. They acquire all the necessary skills to model and partition complex systems – as they are used, e.g., for artificial intelligence, information security, energy-saving systems, robotics, or medical technology – for circuit development algorithmically or mathematically and to convert the modeling into a form suitable for hardware development. By specializing in either analog/mixed-signal or digital design, students can develop individual profiles according to their interests and professional goals.
