MSc in Telematics – Communication Networks and Networked Services

- About the master program

The Master of Science in Telematics – Communication Networks and Networked Services is a two year international master program. There is no tuition fee and the language of instruction is English. In the 2nd year, students choose a specialization track among:

• Networks and quality of service
  
• Services and systems engineering
  
• Information security
  

The goal of this master program is to educate academic engineers with profound knowledge of Telematics for the manifold needs of the actors in the commercial and public domain. The program offers advanced laboratories for exercises in courses and in project and master's thesis work. As a basis for all the specialization tracks students acquire during the 1st year thorough knowledge and skills within common topics such as: access and transport networks, dependability and performance, information security, networked services and applications, network and service management, engineering of distributed systems, and multimedia networking. With this competence as a basis students learn advanced topics within their chosen specialization track.

The master program is a 2-year full-time study program (120 ECTS) including various courses and projects. Each of the two years of study are divided into two semesters, starting in August and January, respectively. Each semester, students are expected to follow 30 ECTS of courses or projects. Students admitted to the International Master in Telematics will follow the study plan outlined below.
