Overview
Objectives
The Master’s Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering forms graduates with advanced knowledge in telecommunication and electronic systems, referring to learning contents updated to the most recent technology advancements.
The programs provide detailed knowledge in key engineering fields, including digital communications, information processing, electronic circuit design and high-frequency techniques.
Courses
The courses are organized in two programs (‘Electronics for Smart Industry’ and ‘Telecommunications for the Digital Society’), allowing the student to customize her/his study plan with a significant degree of freedom.
In general, both programs provide extensive knowledge in different topics in telecommunication and electronic engineering, with a special reference to digital transmission techniques, theoretical and practical aspects of information theory, analysis and management of telecommunication networks, representation and protection of multimedia information, design of sensors and microsystems, high-frequency systems, analog and digital circuit design, biomedical devices.
Advanced mathematical calculus, in particular functional and complex analysis, is included to introduce the necessary theoretical tools to model and formalize solutions of complex information engineering problems.
Program structure
The Master’s Degree in Electronics Communications Engineering is entirely taught in English.
MUR degree class: LM-27 Second cycle degree in Telecommunications Engineering
Duration in years: 2
