Master in Electronic Engineering

For Master in Electronic Engineering, tuition costs 150 EUR per year.

This two-year master's programme in Electronic Engineering, taught in English at Università degli Studi di Catania, covers the design and development of electronic circuits, devices, and systems that underlie much of modern technology. The discipline typically includes analog and digital electronics, semiconductor devices, signal processing, and microelectronics, providing the technical foundation for designing everything from integrated circuits to consumer electronics and communication devices. Students commonly study circuit design and analysis, embedded systems, sensors and instrumentation, and the fabrication processes used to produce semiconductor devices, alongside the mathematical and physical principles that underpin electronic behavior. As electronic systems increasingly incorporate software and connectivity, coursework often extends into topics such as embedded programming, the Internet of Things, and the integration of electronic hardware with communication networks and data systems. Laboratory work, involving the design, construction, and testing of circuits and devices, is typically a significant part of training in this field, complementing theoretical study of electronic principles. Depending on the programme's structure, students may specialize further in areas such as microelectronics and chip design, biomedical electronics, or power electronics, reflecting the wide range of industries that depend on electronic engineering expertise. Graduates in electronic engineering find roles in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, automotive and aerospace industries, and technology companies developing consumer or industrial electronic products. Others move into research and development positions working on next-generation devices and circuits, or into roles integrating electronics with software and mechanical systems in fields such as robotics and automation. Because electronic components are embedded in nearly every modern technology, from communication networks to medical devices, this field remains foundational to a wide range of industries and continues to evolve alongside advances in materials, computing, and connectivity.
