Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Microsystems Engineering Degree Program:
This 2-year program is designed for highly-qualified graduate students holding a Bachelor's degree in engineering or science. The language of instruction is English.

The curriculum comprises courses in Micro-mechanics, Assembly and Packaging Technology, Microelectronics, MST design, Signal processing, Optical microsystems, Sensors, Dynamics of MEMS, Micro-actuators, Analytics of Microsystems, Biomedical Microsystems, Probability and Statistics, MST design and Micro-fluidics.

In the second year, students can specialize in two out of seven concentration areas:

• Circuits and systems
• Design and simulation
• Life sciences: Lab-on-a-chip
• Life sciences: Biomedical engineering
• Materials
• Sensors and actuators
• Process engineering

Essential for the successful completion of the Master’s degree is submission of a Master’s thesis, which is based on a project performed during the third and fourth semesters of the program.

Each student works as a member of one of the 18 research groups of the department, with full access to laboratory and cleanroom infrastructure.
