Engineers who thrive in this programme are those who seek to bridge the gap between complex hardware design and real-world system integration. By engaging with this joint master, you will develop a deep technical fluency in microsystems technology, learning to architect the smart, miniaturized solutions that power modern industry, from medical sensors to autonomous robotics.

This two-year Erasmus Mundus programme is defined by its international mobility, requiring students to rotate between three prestigious institutions to leverage their unique research specializations:

• Aalto University (Finland): Focuses on the foundational and advanced aspects of smart systems during your first semester.
• University of South-Eastern Norway (USN): Provides a second-semester deep dive into specialized microsystems technology in Vestfold.
• Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME): Hosts your third semester, rounding out your expertise with a distinct regional academic perspective.

The curriculum is heavily weighted toward laboratory-based learning and collaborative projects. Rather than staying in one classroom, you will move through a network of leading European laboratories. The final semester is dedicated entirely to your master’s thesis, which can be conducted in partnership with industrial leaders or academic research groups, ensuring your graduation project is aligned with cutting-edge technological demands.
