Embedded Systems
Description:
THIS MASTER’S FOCUSES ON THE DESIGN OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS: THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE THAT CONTROL A DEVICE, PROCESS OR SYSTEM, E.G. SMART PHONES, PACEMAKERS, CHIP SETS OR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS.
Are you interested in the combination of hardware and software, e.g. the design of control software? And do you want to work on topics such as embedded robotics, pervasive systems or energy efficiency, then this master’s might just be ideal for you! The two-year Master’s in Embedded Systems is an internationally oriented programme and is taught entirely in English. You can start in September and February.
You can start the pre-master's in September. Read more about the master's, pre-master's and admission. You can also find more information about career perspectives. Read the testimonial of students from Embedded Systems.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS IN A NUTSHELL
An embedded system is a combination of hardware systems (electrical engineering) and software systems (computer science) built into equipment that we don’t always recognise as being computerised, such as the systems that control a car’s anti-lock brakes, the automatic pilot of an aircraft or the sensors and filters used in processing plants. Embedded systems call for real-time operation, reliability, maintainability and cost-effectiveness, which places heavy demands on software (user interfaces, data processing, machine control) and hardware (GPU, Asics, DSP, FPGA).
