Course content

Develop a thorough understanding of some of the most important technologies that are transforming our communications systems.

This two-year Msc degree in Embedded Computing Systems allows you to study at two locations, choosing from the unique strengths of University of Southampton (system on chip electronics), Kaiserslautern University (embedded systems) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim (electronics and communication).

The European Masters in Embedded Computing Systems (EMECS) is a two-year programme run in conjunction with Kaiserslautern University and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology at Trondheim.

You will benefit from Southampton’s expertise in system on chip and electronics, Trondheim’s knowledge of electronics and communications and Kaiserslautern’s strong track record in embedded systems.

The curriculum consists of a core programme, an elective programme and a Masters thesis.

• The core programme covers the fundamentals of embedded computing systems and offers an equivalent education in all three institutions.
• The elective programme reflects the specific profiles of the participating partner universities and their associated research institutes.
