Study contents
Microelectronics is the basic technology of our information society. All modern systems of communication and information technology are based on this technology as well as components of automation, consumer electronics, automotive technology as well as aerospace and technical medicine. The course of study in combination with optical technologies is unique in the German-speaking world. It covers a broad education from the physical mode of action of electronic components and their simulation and manufacture to laser technology.
Qualification profile
You should have a completed relevant bachelor's degree and an interest in lasers, circuit technology and quantum phenomena. If you are fascinated by the reduction of components to atomic scale, this Master's Programme is the right choice for you.
Admission requirements
Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from TU Wien or TU Graz.
Admission with other degrees is possible after individual examination, if necessary, and additional examinations may be prescribed.
Study conditions
The laboratory exercises and practical courses of the Master's Programme are equipped with high-quality and modern equipment and have sufficient space. The courses of the Master's Programme are not overcrowded. There are enough free places in all courses and sufficient support staff.
