Programme structure
The master programme is a two year programme, consisting of a thesis and theoretical course work. The thesis is an independent scientific work, carried out under supervision.
You can choose between a long thesis (60 credits thesis, 60 credits course work) a short thesis (30 credits thesis, 90 credits course work).
Students choosing a long thesis will have the opportunity to produce an integrated circuit in 0.35um or even in 90nm CMOS technology.
All 4000- and 5000-courses are considered master level courses. Choice of thesis and curriculum is made in accordance with your supervisor.
