Student Session
Moving to a new country, starting studies and a new life is a big step. Luckily for you, our students have already been through the process! Therefore, they would like to invite you to a webinar for students by students.
Introduction
This program contains both theory and applications and prepares you for advanced engineering work in the industry or for graduate studies.
Wave propagation and signal processing are important fields in the technical society of today. There are many technical and industrial applications that require knowledge of both these subjects, notably wireless communication and antenna and microwave technology.
Degree
Master's degree (two years) in electrical engineering with a specialization in signal processing and wave propagation.
This is Linnaeus University
Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in the southeast of Sweden. We are located in two nature-loving cities, one by the Baltic sea and one surrounded by lakes in the greenest city in Europe. More facts about Linnaeus University:
- Founded in 2010 through a merger between Kalmar University and Växjö University;
- Located in Kalmar and Växjö;
- 44,000 enrolled students;
- 2,200 enrolled international students;
- 6th largest university in Sweden in terms of the number of students;
- 780 partner universities in more than 80 countries;
- 100-degree programs on the first-cycle level, 8 of them taught in English;
- 80-degree programs on the second-cycle level, 35 of them taught in English.
Växjö
Roughly 15 minutes by bike from the city center, you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. It is like a small society with a university, student accommodation, and student life. Here you become part of a creative knowledge environment.
What will you come across on an excursion in Växjö – the city of contrasts? You will find good restaurants, a celebrated hockey team, and cozy cafés where you can enjoy a latte with lingonberry flavor. In Växjö, beautiful nature is always just around the corner; the city is surrounded by lakes and forests. Students like the combination of the city center and the active student life on campus. Your dream of the future starts here!
Career Opportunities
Advanced engineering work in the industry awaits most graduates. Two plausible fields are telecommunications, which holds both the themes of the program, and sensor technology, which combines data collection and signal processing. If you prefer graduate studies, theoretical courses are good preparation.
Curriculum
During the first year, you will study the mathematical and statistical methods that are the foundations of advanced-level telecommunications theory. You will also meet applications in the form of radio systems and microwave and antenna technology.
In the second year, you can specialize theoretically or study adjacent subjects such as physics or computer science. Some courses are given every other year and can thus be studied during year 1 or 2. The thesis work is a process where you transform your knowledge into scientific writing. In this, you will benefit from the elements of research methodology that are contained in the program.
The program features courses of 7.5 HEC each, which consist of lectures, seminars, practicals, and mandatory assignments.
