Master in Electronic Engineering

Tuition costs 2,470 EUR per year.

Electronic Engineering is a master's degree offered in English at Universita degli Studi di Pavia in Pavia, Italy, running for 2 years. This discipline focuses on the design and development of electronic systems, circuits, and devices used across communications, computing, and industrial applications. Typical coursework includes analog and digital circuit design, signal processing, microelectronics, telecommunications systems, and embedded systems. Students generally study how electronic components and integrated circuits are designed and manufactured, along with the principles governing signal transmission, amplification, and processing in modern electronic devices. Coursework often addresses semiconductor technology, printed circuit design, and the software and firmware needed to control electronic hardware, reflecting the close relationship between hardware and software in contemporary electronic engineering. Students may also study specialized areas such as radio frequency engineering, sensor technology, or power electronics, depending on the specific focus of coursework. Laboratory work is typically central to the curriculum, requiring students to build, test, and troubleshoot electronic circuits and systems using standard engineering tools and instrumentation. Programming skills are also commonly developed, since many modern electronic systems rely on embedded software to function. Graduates of electronic engineering programs typically pursue careers in telecommunications companies, semiconductor and electronics manufacturers, consumer electronics firms, automotive and industrial electronics, and research and development laboratories. Some continue into further academic study in electronics, telecommunications, or related engineering fields. Because electronic systems underpin much of modern technology, from communications infrastructure to consumer devices, graduates in this field tend to find opportunities across a wide range of technology-driven industries. English-medium instruction at Pavia supports an internationally diverse group of engineering students studying this technically demanding field.
