Embedded systems are an essential part of the modern society. They integrate electronics and software with the controlled system and the development requires expertise in both areas.

Embedded Systems specialization offers a full set of courses on how to design and build dependable embedded systems by combining electronics design and software engineering. Your choices include microcontrollers, digital design, programming and testing embedded systems, productization of devices, and understanding the architecture of both hardware and software.  

As a student, we expect you to know the basics of electronics, microcontrollers, and programming. Having prior education in related areas such as computer networks, wireless communications, power electronics, robotics, or industrial automation is recommended.

After completing the programme, you will be qualified to pursue a wide range of career opportunities in different fields of embedded systems design. You will have the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in industry or continue your studies towards a doctorate. Tampere region has very strong industrial cluster in intelligent machines, embedded systems, and telecommunications.
