Introduction
The master’s programme in Electronics and ICT Engineering Technology gives you a broad basis of general skills and technical knowledge. At the same time, you feel at home in the fascinating world of information processing. Based on your knowledge of electronics and ICT, you can correctly estimate the operation and the impact of the technologies used. You can analyse both existing analogue and digital electronic systems and design and implement new systems. You are also able to analyse, design and implement complex information and communication systems.
To compile your programme, you select an R&D Experience; this gives you the opportunity to realise a challenging project in a team context. Next, you choose an elective course (either an internship, or the course Management and another elective course). Finally, you select one of the two focuses: Advanced Electronics (more hardware-oriented) or Software Systems (more software-oriented).

All of KU Leuven’s disciplines proudly belong to the top 100 of their field. Furthermore, KU Leuven was ranked by Reuters as the most innovative university in Europe in 2016.
Research-based education
Education at KU Leuven is research-based, which means students will learn from the same professors who are performing the ground-breaking research you read about in the press. New insights are instantly integrated into classes and students are encouraged to perform their own research. In our FabLab, students can use a number of high-tech machines to create whatever they want – all free of charge.
