Master of Science in Electrical Systems Engineering

The Master of Science in Electrical Systems Engineering (MS ESE) at Paderborn University is a two-year, full-time programme combining methods from electrical engineering, information technology, computer engineering, and applied mathematics for the design of complete electrical systems. The programme offers two specialisations: Signal and Information Processing, which focuses on the computational aspects of system behaviour, and Electronics and Devices, which covers IC design at the micro- and nano-scale and hardware implementation. The programme is structured over four semesters, including three course semesters and a six-month Master's thesis. A central feature is a year-long student project group in which teams of roughly six to twelve students work with a research group on a research-related project. International students are required to take a German language course as part of their general studies. The programme is accredited by ASIIN, a member of the Washington Accord. Courses are delivered by the department's full professors and supplemented by guest lectures from international academics and practically-oriented courses by industry lecturers. The programme is offered at Paderborn University in Paderborn, Germany.
