Program Overview

Master of Science (MSc) in Communication Technologies and System Design

The Master of Science in Communication Technologies and System Design is a unique program that incorporates various aspects of communication technologies into one degree. This program plays a key role in modern society, as communication technologies and system design engineers contribute to the development of the technology on which modern society relies.

Study Programme

The study programme covers areas ranging from advanced component and system design through complex network structures to the development of services and ICT solutions that meet user expectations. The programme courses include three central, traditional disciplines which, to some extent, share a common technical-scientific basis. These are:

Component and Software Design

This discipline addresses both the development of optical components, optical transmission systems, and electronic componentse.g., in the form of integrated circuitsand the design of telecommunication software, including signal-processing software.

System Development and Methods

Courses offered within this discipline are mainly related to coding, communication networks, and multimedia. They address the basis forand design oftechnical communication systems as well as operation and monitoring of the systems.

Applications

Courses offered within this discipline are related to the following areas: services and networks, information systems, and market conditions for communication applications. These application-oriented courses focus on the interaction between technologies, user needs, and various market and organizational aspects, including solutions to supporting organizational communication and cooperation.

Specializations

The program offers the following specializations:

• High-speed Communication
• Signal Processing, Coding and Visual Communication
• Mobile/Wireless Communication and Internet of Things
• Cloud and Cybersecurity
• Communication hardware design and programming

Career

The aim of the study programme is to educate highly qualified engineers with the competencies to carry out research, development, planning, and analysis tasks in a number of areas related to telecommunication. Career opportunities are available in various fields, including research and development, planning, and analysis.

Industry Master of Science

This programme is also available as an industry master's programme, combining part-time study with a part-time job. This provides an opportunity to apply academic knowledge in real-world settings and build a strong foundation for future careers.

Admission

Admission to the program is possible with a bachelor's degree from Denmark or outside of Denmark. Prerequisites for admission include a relevant bachelor's degree.

Program Structure

The program structure includes a combination of coursework and research, with a focus on developing skills in communication technologies and system design. The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the field and prepare them for careers in research, development, and industry.
