Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4020639FNR voor alle studenten in het 1e en 2e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
The Master thesis consists of a personal and original manuscript demonstrating the student’s ability to identify scientific or technological issues and to apply his/her knowledge, skills and competences while adopting a logical and coherent scientific methodology. The Master thesis must be written in English. The length of the main body (without appendices) must be limited to 60 pages. The master thesis is a work that integrates skills and knowledge. Whether directed to academic research and/or, industry, it must be a personal and original contribution to the field.
The thesis subjects from all research groups involved in the specialization are communicated to the students at the end of March of the academic year preceding the academic year of the Master thesis. Master theses have an orientation towards academic and/or industrial research.
This course contributes to the following programme outcomes of the Master in Electronics and Information Technology Engineering:
