The MSc in Telecommunications Engineering has a workload of 120 ECTS credits. The first three semesters contain core courses (mandatory for all students) that lay the foundation for the remainder of the program, while the last semester contains elective courses that can be selected according to the student’s preference. The final exam consists of the public defense of the thesis; the thesis is a carefully-argued scholarly paper, written under the guidance of an advisor, which gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise in the chosen research area.
