Master in Electronic Systems Engineering

The Master's Degree in Electronic Systems Engineering runs across one academic year with a set of 21 ECTS made up of core subjects, 27 ECTS made up of elective subjects and 12 ECTS for the Master's Thesis (TFM). The electives are spread across two study routes, each represented by a specific subject-matter. Students can choose a study route if they have completed at least 12 ECTS of the options set out within it. Students can also choose to combine subjects from both study routes. The study routes covered are:

• Electronic Systems Route (I1). This study route is intended for students who wish to understand a complete electronic system, to identify different blocks and to learn to specify and design based on innovative technologies and components.
• Components and Subsystems Route (I2). This study route is intended for students who wish to gain an insight into the latest advances in electronic/photonic components and design tools for electronic subsystems in both microelectronic and integrated opticals electronic subsystems.

To complement the study routes, an elective subject-matter is available, which relates to the field of electronic system applications and dynamic new trends according to current developments in the field. Elective credits linked to collaborative projects are also on offer, along with company internships or seminars conducted by experts from the professional and / or research sphere. Students who wish to take on more complex electronic system design can choose the subject Experimental Projects II, which will add to their overall experiment-related workload.
