Contribute to advanced solutions in industrial processes by designing the software and hardware of complex embedded systems in vehicles, pacemakers, chipsets, and other devices.
The design of embedded systems is at the core of technological and industrial progress. Embedded systems are building blocks of medical devices, automobiles, industrial machinery, and GPS systems. Even your car’s antilock braking system (ABS) is an embedded system. The design of such systems is crucial for their functionality. If an embedded system can’t perform the required task in time, this has an immediate effect on the safety of the person using the system but also on energy efficiency and cost. Within the Master’s in Embedded Systems at the University of Twente, you will learn to design, build, and program intelligent software and hardware that comply with strict requirements concerning time latency, power consumption, reliability, and cost efficiency.
You have a lot of freedom to tailor your Master’s to your interests. Whether you are interested in computer architecture, embedded AI, Internet of Things, dependable computing, or cyber-physical systems, you can choose your field of focus by selecting a set of elective courses. This way, you get to shape your learning path.
In this two-year, English-taught Master’s, you will learn to tackle the increasing complexity of modern embedded systems by integrating both hardware and software from the early stages of the design process. You will gain the necessary engineering skills and knowledge in real-time operating systems, digital hardware design, computer architecture, embedded software development, embedded artificial intelligence, and sensor integration, among others. By the end of the Master’s, you will be able to design embedded systems that meet the desired performance requirements, such as time latency, power consumption, reliability, and cost efficiency for various applications.
Na studia magisterskie mogą kandydować wszyscy, którzy ukończyli studia licencjackie lub inżynierskie (studia I stopnia), studia magisterskie lub studiują na ostatnim roku studiów I-stopnia. Studia, które planujesz powinny mieć zbliżony profil do tych obecnych lub ukończonych, ponieważ w procesie rekrutacji kluczowa jest ich zgodność programowa.
- Wykaz punktów ECTS – osoby, które są jeszcze w trakcie studiów, muszą załączyć wypis punktów ECTS, w którym będzie wykazane, jakie przedmioty były realizowane na studiach oraz ile punktów za nie otrzymano.
- Dyplom ukończenia studiów licencjackich lub inżynierskich – jeśli jesteś absolwentem wyższej uczelni, nie potrzebujesz wypisu, wystarczy załączyć dyplom ukończenia studiów wraz z suplementem (w języku angielskim lub oryginał z tłumaczeniem)
- Uwaga! Każdy kierunek magisterski może mieć inne wymagania i wymagać specyficznych dodatkowych dokumentów. Przed aplikacją sprawdź na stronie uczelni, jakich dokumentów potrzebujesz!
WAŻNE! Opłata aplikacyjna - uczelnia pobiera opłatę aplikacyjną w wysokości 100 euro, którą należy uiścić przy składaniu aplikacji (podczas wysyłania formularza aplikacyjnego zostaniesz poinformowany, jak to zrobić). Tutaj można znaleźć więcej informacji na temat tej opłaty i jej wysokości. Opłata aplikacyjna jest opłacana wyłącznie raz, niezależnie od ilości wybranych kierunków na tej uczelni.
IELTS - 6.5
The Master’s programme in Embedded Systems provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the interaction of embedded systems within their physical and network environments. You’ll get to know all about resource-boundedness, dependability and approaches to systems design.
Embedded systems are becoming more and more important. The exponential increase in computing power, ubiquitous connectivity and the convergence of technology have resulted in hardware/software systems being embedded in everyday products and places (for example: today, 20% of the value of each car is attributed to embedded electronics, and this will increase to 35-50% by 2020). It goes without saying that embedded systems engineers have excellent career prospects, due to the increasing integration of hardware and software in applications.
You’ll build your own future based on your personal interests, whether you’d like to be a researcher, a designer (developer of new products and services) or an organizer (managing an engineering department or providing consultancy services).
You can combine research and development in the R&D departments of companies. Think of radar technology (Thales), energy efficient solutions (NXP semiconductors, Nedap), latest technology for manufacturing integrated circuits (ASML). Embedded systems graduates also started their career at TNO, ProDrive, Benchmark Electronics, Recore Systems, etc. Our research groups enjoy close ties with all of these companies. These connections might help you find your first job, often with an internship as a first step. You might also decide to specialize further by becoming a PhD researcher with one of our research groups or elsewhere. You could even start your own business as many of our past graduates have done.
