The Master of Science in Electrical Communication Engineering (ECE) is a program being offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Kassel.
Accreditation
[edit]The ECE program is accredited by the ASIIN until 2014 [1].
History
[edit]The program It started as a ‘Master-plus’ program in April 1998 and is one of the first international master programs in Germany to impart studies exclusively in English [6].
Objective
[edit]The objective of the program is to enable the student to work in different fields of electrical communications, both in academia and industry. This comprises jobs in R & D departments, consulting, operation and maintenance, patent issues, acquisition of projects, etc. Students interested in academic research and teaching careers can pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) in different areas of communications comprising the aforementioned topics.
Admission
[edit]The program accepts a maximum of 30 students a year and is intended for students with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Electrical Engineering (Specialization: Communications) or a related area. Besides, applicants must provide proof of their English skills via TOEFL/IELTS or a letter from their University stating that their undergraduate studies were done exclusively in English.
Beginning of the program
[edit]It is possible to start the program either in the winter term (October) or the summer term (April).
Program structure
[edit]The program comprises three semesters (one and a half year), where the first two semesters are devoted to courses, seminars and lab trainings organized in modules. The third semester is used exclusively for the final thesis module. In each semester, modules totalling 30 credit points must be attended. Presently, the topics of the modules cover different aspects of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer model for communication systems including
- Digital Communications
- Electromagnetics
- Microwaves
- Mobile Internet
- Optoelectronics
- Software and Hardware Components for Communication Systems
Students are free to enroll in modules according to their interests. Courses can be chosen from a specific topic to specialize in it or combined from different topics to get an overview over different aspects in communication systems.
Language of instruction
[edit]All courses are given in English. In parallel to the scientific education, the students learn German and get accustomed to the German way of life.
