System-on-Chip Design, Computing Sciences and Electrical Engineering, Master of Science (Technology) (2 yrs)

System-on-Chips (SoCs) run the digital world!System-on-Chips (SoCs) run the world everywhere as the heart of phones, computers, data centers, buildings, factories, and anywhere data is processed. The Tampere region has a strong industrial cluster in intelligent machines, embedded systems, and telecommunications, demanding state-of-the-art chips, and the need for experts in the field of SoC is vast.The most advanced design key to successNokia designs the most advanced chips in Europe for 5G on the latest IC technology nodes in Finland. The SoC Hub is a collaboration between Tampere University and industrial partners that aims to develop innovative SoCs and boost the partners' competitiveness. The Soc Hub collected Tampere University and companies to create very large SoCs, for example, the Headsail SoC with 330M transistors in 2023. The success is based on three decades of expertise on FPGA and DSP based multiprocessor system designs in Tampere.For a quick introduction to SoC Hub, please view the short introductory video.What makes SoC Design Track unique?You will study courses covering the complete design cycle of a modern System-on-Chip.System-on-Chip Design is a unique specialization to enable professional engineers to develop the most demanding SoCs in the world.The curriculum is research-based and organized in collaboration with the companies that offer trainee positions, career and skills mentoring, open doors visits, student events throughout the studies, and positions for the master thesis work.Tampere University offers the most current Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and training, bringing the latest research results and advanced industrial topics for the students.What will the SoC Design study track equip you with?After completing the specialisation, you can pursue a wide range of career opportunities in different fields of system-on-chip (SoC) design.You will have the in-depth knowledge and understanding, as well as hands-on training for the complete SoC design cycle.You will have the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in industry or continue your studies towards a doctorate.A chance to participate and collaborate with leading European university via Education for Chip initiative Edu4Chip | Digital Skills and Jobs PlatformCheck out the Computing Sciences blog to learn how to become a System-on-Chip design expert.
