Master's programme in Intelligent Embedded Systems
In this programme you learn how to design intelligent embedded systems that are safe, reliable and can learn from and adapt to their surroundings. After your studies you can work as an engineer, project manager, system architect or programmer, system architect, embedded systems programmer or a researcher in the areas of robotics, telecommunications, process control, home electronics and car industry.
Being involved in such projects was very valuable, partly because we were able to test real-life projects, which gave an insight into working life, and partly because we got a big network of contacts for working life.
