The Master's degree course of study in Electronics Engineering comprises three course profiles:
Microsystems Engineering Content:
microstructuring of silicon
design of integrated circuits and systems
FPGA programming
mixed signal systems design
laser microprocessing
microsensors and microactuators
medical, environmental and automotive applications of microsystems
Intelligent Sensors and Instrumentation
Miniaturised, intelligent and networked sensors and actuators are the basis for IIoT (industrial Internet of things), Industry 4.0 and numerous future applications with artificial intelligence. By integrating signal processing, inferential statistics, and AI methods at the sensor or edge level, it becomes possible to develop autonomous systems and efficient IIoT solutions.
Content:
automated measurement and test
machine learning and pattern recognition
signal processing in measurement and instrumentation
optical sensors and
laser measurement
electrical measurement of non-electric quantities
IIOT concepts:
intelligent sensors:
incorporate signal processing capabilities
perform data preprocessing
communicate via a variety of interfaces
decide at machine/process level
reduce amount of data sent to cloud
sensors, machines, SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition), ERP (enterprise resource planning) and humans are constantly connected
intelligent sensors use:
digital signal processing
machine learning
artificial intelligence
wired/wireless communication
CommunicationSystems Engineering Content:
satellite and wireless communications
optical communications
digital signal processing
microwave engineering
underwater acoustics and SONAR
Course organisation
Each semester comprises five modules, each with 6 ECTS credits. A workload of 30 hours corresponds to 1 ECTS credit.
Structure of the course of studies:
first semester, 20 contact hours/week: 30 credits
second semester, 20 contact hours/week: 30 credits
thesis semester: 30 credits
Hours per week represent contact hours in classes, seminars or laboratories. Each contact hour equals 45 minutes. Additionally, for each contact hour, students are expected to allocate 2 hours for self-paced studies.
Credits indicate student workload according to ECTS standards.
The course comprises three categories of modules:
Engineering core modules: compulsory modules, specific for each course profile
Economics and language modules: relevant for all three course profiles
Engineering required optional modules: selected to define the individual profiles
In general, the modules comprise lectures with integrated exercises in small groups, seminars, laboratory work and projects/case studies. Assessments usually take place at the end of each semester.
For the two semesters of teaching, the workload of 60 credits is distributed as follows:
Course-specific, integrated German language courses
No
Course-specific, integrated English language courses
Yes
Tuition fees per semester in EUR
None
Semester contribution
Approx. 400 EUR per semester
The fee includes a semester ticket covering public transportation in the Bremen metropolitan area.
Costs of living
Food and meals cost approx. 300 EUR per month. Warm food and snacks are less expensive at the university's cafeterias. Local transport is included in the enrolment fee. Students receive a semester ticket that allows for free access to buses, trams and regional trains servicing Bremen and the surrounding area. Academic expenses amount to about 30 EUR per month, and use of the university library (with three locations) is free of charge. Health insurance costs approx. 80 EUR per month. Living expenses amount to approx. 700 EUR per month (including rent).
