EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Can we design hardware and software for fast and efficient deep learning? Can we prove that an airbag inflates in time? How far are we in developing embedded software for maximising the energy efficiency of a power grid?

The Master’s in Embedded Systems focuses on the combination of hardware (electrical engineering) and software (computer science) for applications ranging from pacemakers, smartphones, anti-lock brakes on cars to radars and basestations for future 5G/6G telecommunication systems. You will focus on topics such as computer architecture, (programmable) digital hardware design, Embedded Artificial Intelligence, Internet-of-Things, security, and real-time operating systems.

This is a 4TU programme, which means you can take relevant courses at three Dutch universities of technology. Hardware/software systems, increasingly, are being embedded in everyday products and places, due to the exponential increase in computing power, ubiquitous connectivity and the convergence of technology. It goes without saying that embedded systems engineers have excellent career prospects.

ENVIRONMENTAL & ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Our Master’s in Environmental & Energy Management (MEEM) is a one-year programme, offering three specialisations: Water Management, Environmental Management, and Energy Management.

The MEEM programme provides future decision-makers, in companies, and governmental and non-governmental organisations, with the knowledge and skills needed to manage sustainability in a technological context. In this programme, you will learn how to analyse societal challenges, such as climate change, environmental pollution, resource depletion, and social inequalities, and act in a sustainable, proactive way to tackle those challenges. The overall goal of the programme is to enable you to apply concepts, tools and methods for managing and governing socio-technical change towards sustainable development. As a graduate, you will be able to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate water, environmental and energy management policies and projects in a local or global context.
