Introduction
The master’s programme in Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology gives you a broad basis of general skills and technical knowledge. At the same time, you feel at home in the fascinating world of information processing. Based on your knowledge of electronics and ICT, you can correctly estimate the operation and the impact of the technologies used. You can analyse both existing analogue and digital electronic systems and design and implement new systems. You are also able to analyse, design and implement complex information and communication systems.
To compile your programme, you select an R&D Experience; this gives you the opportunity to realise a challenging project in a team context. Next, you choose an elective course (either an internship, or the course Management and another elective course). Finally, you select one of the two focuses: Advanced Electronics (more hardware-oriented) or Software Systems (more software-oriented).

Curriculum
Structure
To compose your study program, you select an R&D Experience, an option package and an additional elective course. You can choose from two main options:
- The Intelligent Electronics option refers to the combination of hardware and software used to develop and implement embedded systems (cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras). You will learn to consider limitations in the areas of I/O possibilities, memory, speed and energy consumption.
- The Internet Computing option follows the trend of a broadly distributed approach to developing applications. The advantages of this approach include high reliability, scalability, high performance, easy maintenance and low cost.
You also choose an R&D Experience. This gives you the opportunity to realise a challenging project in a team context. There are four possibilities:
- UX-driven Web Development – With the user as a guideline, you develop a web application with rich user interactions
- Embedded Systems – You develop a ‘system on chip’ application, using an FPGA and an embedded processor
- Signal Processing: Algorithms and Implementation – You develop and implement a state-of-the-art DSP algorithm
- Games and Tangibles – You learn how to build a game using rich tangible interaction for player input and output.

Career Opportunities
On completion of the Program you will be a sought after industrial engineer, with a broad foundation of general skills and technical knowledge. You will be familiar with the world of information processing and prepared to play a role in the development of a variety of digital media applications, from consumer devices to custom stand-alone or networked applications.
