Electronics Engineering
Modern society depends on reliable and efficient electronics supporting a wide range of application areas such as broadband communications, high-speed computing, healthcare, automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and more. This means that the demand for engineers with the knowledge required to lead the design of complex integrated circuits and systems will remain high for the foreseeable future.
This programme is organised by several strong divisions with excellent teaching experience and close research collaboration with many companies worldwide. It provides you with a competitive education in digital, analogue and radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits (IC) and system-on-chip (SoC) design, combined with in-depth knowledge in signal processing, application-specific processors, embedded systems design, modern communications systems, and radio transceiver design.
Two specialisations
During the second and third semester it is compulsory for the student to follow one of the two specializations:
- Embedded digital systems with focus on digital system-on-chip design and embedded systems
- Microelectronics with emphasis on design of mixed analog/digital and radio-frequency integrated circuits
Project-based design courses using advanced CAD tools
Several project-based design courses provide excellent opportunities to strengthen your practical design skills. You will gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art circuit and system design environments, as well as advanced CAD tools widely used in today’s industry. As an example, in the VLSI Design course, you will design real chips using standard CMOS technology. These chips are then sent for fabrication and later measured and evaluated in a follow-up course. Only a few select universities worldwide have the know-how and capability to provide such unique courses, and LiU is one of them.
- ECTS transcript – If you are still completing your Bachelor’s degree, upload an ECTS transcript showing the subjects you have studied, your grades, and the number of credits awarded. Your Bachelor’s diploma must be uploaded later, as soon as you receive it.
- Bachelor’s diploma – If you have already graduated, upload your Bachelor’s diploma. A separate ECTS transcript is not required.
Note: Your Bachelor’s degree must be in the same or a related field as the Master’s programme you are applying for. The university will check whether you have completed enough relevant subjects and ECTS credits.
Important! View the full requirements on the university’s official website. Requirements may vary depending where you completed your bachelor education.
Note:
- A motivation letter and a recommendation letter are NOT required documents when applying to the programmes at this university.
