  • Study plan 2016-2018

    This full-time programme consists of four semesters and stretches over two years.

    It allows students to gain an in-depth knowledge on cyber-physical and embedded systems from application and system design perspectives. By having 15 ECTS of electives it encourages students to personalize their study curricula according to their interests.

    The courses are taught in the mixed mode in the first semester (regular and modular) while in the second and the third semester mainly modular courses are being offered allowing students to fully immerse in the topics and end up with meaningful projects.

    The study is concluded in the fourth semester by focusing mainly on preparation and writing of master thesis.
