International Masters Program
Information and Communications Engineering deals with
the digital processing of data and signals. Today, the state of
the art I&C technologies have a major impact on most busi-
ness and industrial processes as well as on many services.
Integrated in numerous devices, they also revolutionize
everyday life and global communications.
Graduates of our masters program work in a fast-changing
work environment in various sectors of the economy. They
plan, design, implement or configure fixed or mobile tele-
communications systems, communication networks (e.g.
Car-to-Car, Smart Grid), data networks (e.g. for automation),
home area networks, internet based systems and products
or sensor networks. To name just a few other possibilities,
you will also find our graduates in areas such as IT-Security,
interactive media, software and hardware development as
well as system integration.
Course description
During the first semester, the students extend and deepen
their knowledge in the fundamental areas of Data Trans-
mission, Optical and Wireless Communications as well as of
Advanced Signal Processing. During the second semester,
the emphasis is on various network technologies (Internet
Protocols, Networks and Applications). A set of elective
modules provide the opportunity to specialize according
to personal career goals. The last semester is devoted to
applied research and development work in order to design
and implement new engineering solutions and systems.
Throughout the whole program, communication skills,
team-working abilities, intercultural competence and
methodological training skills are also developed.
