About the education
Innovative environments and collaborations
This program has a unique link to industry and to Lund University. It is also closely linked to the Electronics Centre in Halmstad, an innovation arena in electronics development for researchers and companies in the region. There is a test chamber here for electromagnetic compatibility, for example, where companies can test their products for more efficient product development.
Courses and competencies in focus
The Master's programme in Electronics Design focuses on research and development in embedded systems and hardware for the Internet of Things of the future. You assimilate the theoretical and practical skills required to actively participate in the development of the future of embedded electronics and communications systems.
This means that the programme gives you real competence in semiconductor technology as well as component and circuit design. You specialise in the design and realisation of new electronic components and sensors, based on nanotechnology and wireless technology for the embedded electronics and communications systems of the future.
Collaboration opportunities
During semester two, you perform your degree project in collaboration with the university's research groups or together with a company. The research group in micro- and nanoelectronics is part of a consortium affiliated with Lund University, within which you can perform advanced degree project work in a clean room environment, for example.

Meet our students and alumni
Bashar Arhayem studied our Master’s Programme in Electronics Design, and now has a successful career as a developer at Ericsson, after doing his thesis project in collaboration with the company. We asked him a few questions about his current job and the learnings from his master's studies.
Student-industry collaboration created new heat pump
A master’s thesis project resulted in not only a new, smart product, but also two full time positions for the students at NIBE in Markaryd. The road was long and had a few bumps, but in the end: resulted in a new, cost-effective antenna ready to go to the market.
