Embedded sensors can be found in home and consumer electronics, medical electronics, in vehicles, within industry, army, and aviation, and even in space. The Master’s program teaches you how to design embedded sensor systems and how to connect them to different products, programs and apps and their features. The Master’s Program in Embedded Sensor Systems was developed in cooperation with the industry and researchers and therefore, it responds to current and future market needs.

This program will provide you with a broad knowledge of the different technologies that form the construction basis of embedded sensor systems. You will also gain an understanding of the methods and tools you need for analysis and construction, both on an overall level and in-depth. In addition, you will learn to put your theoretical knowledge to practical use by means of close cooperation with the industry, in which you work with some of the companies’ real research projects....

Education for future jobs relevant to tackle questions about environment and development! New possibilities open up with skills from the International Master’s Programme in Ecotechnology and Sustainable Development. The programme provides you with a deeper knowledge of natural resource management from a systemic perspective. The focus is on moving society towards a sustainable development.

In order to be successful when working with sustainable development, you must possess adequate knowledge and skills. The International Master’s Programme in Ecotechnology and Sustainable Development will provide you with knowledge related to environmental and natural resource questions from a sustainability point of view and from global, regional and local levels. These broad issues, which vary in relation to time, place, complexity and connectedness, are approached in an interdisciplinary and systemic way. The programme includes courses in both Environmental Science and Environmental Technology. Environmental Science focuses on knowledge about how natural resources and the environment form preconditions to create sustainable societal functions. Environmental Technology, on the other hand, focuses on the technology and technical systems from a sustainability perspective. This programme aims to develop your analytical and systemic thinking and thus to provide you with the ability to tackle complex problems. It will also provide you with an understanding of efficient natural resource usage. It also considers how knowledge referring to different systems and innovations, together with knowledge about societal control systems, can contribute towards sustainable development.
