MA/MS in Microsystems Engineering

This English-taught master's programme covers microsystems, also known as MEMS or micromachines, an engineering discipline that draws on electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science and the life sciences. It is run by one of the field's largest academic research institutes, which combines interdisciplinary high-technology research with a strong focus on practical application. The first year covers five compulsory courses spanning microelectronics, micromechanics, microsystems technologies and processes, microsystem design, and signal processing, complemented by a selection of elective courses. Students then specialise in one of four areas: circuits and systems, biomedical engineering, materials and fabrication, or photonics. Graduates leave with the interdisciplinary depth needed for research and engineering careers in microsystems and sensor technologies worldwide.
