Programme Structure

The Master of Science Programme in wireless communication is a curriculum between the bachelor degree and a continuation with Ph.D. degree studies. The programme is adapted to the ongoing process in Europe towards degrees that are comparable and valid in all countries. The Master of Science degree will thus make you well prepared as a high level professional in the high-tech industry.

The programme focuses on the physical and lower layers of wireless communication and is open to international students with a bachelor's degree and students who have graduated from Swedish university colleges with a "Kandidat" degree. Students who would like an alternative to their 4th year in a master's program can also apply through exchange programmes like Erasmus and Time. The programme consists of 120 ECTS credits of studies and is approximately 4 semesters long. The programme is structured to 90 ECTS credits of course work and a 30 ECTS credits degree project (Master's thesis work), typically done in industry or in close association with our research projects. After completion, you will be awarded, by Lund University, the degree of "Teknologie Master i Trådlös Kommunikation" which is translated to "Master of Science in Wireless Communication".

A brief description of the content

The Wireless Communication curriculum has, as mentioned, a focus on the physical and lower layers of wireless communication. The aim is to give deep system knowledge, with in turn requires insights into the various components in a wireless system. Compulsory courses in the programme include Digital Communication, Radio, Radio Systems, Antenna Technology, Advanced Telecommunications, Channel Modelling for Wireless Communication, and Digital Transmission Engineering. Along with these there is a project course Wireless Systems Project, where knowledge from the different courses is combined in a shorter project. In the final semester there is a larger project, in which the Master’s thesis is produced.

The programme gives a solid ground for further work in the wireless area, either in industry or in academia. After completion the student should be skilled for both research and development, e.g. understanding and developing future wireless systems, developing wireless networks for special applications and understanding and enhancing existing solutions. It is also a perfect start for further studies as a PhD student in the area.
