Beschreibung des Programms

The world is undergoing a fourth industrial revolution. Digital data is the new capital and the internet has become a resource every bit as precious as water or electricity. This master’s program will train you to become a technology innovator, developing and innovating concepts to form the core of the next generation of cell phones, antennas, quantum computers, sensors, robots, communication systems, and satellites.

New and emerging infrastructures and applications like data centers, industrial automation, and autonomous driving will require unprecedented investments in photonics and wireless technology. The space industry is undergoing a similar transformation, with satellite constellation services for global communications, navigation, Earth observation, and space science becoming ever more commonplace. This master’s program will prepare you to meet these enormous future challenges by training you in the fundamentals of photonics, microwave devices, and how these components work at a systemic level.

You will have unique opportunities when studying this program at the Chalmers University of Technology to access truly world-class facilities. Onsala Space Observatory has advanced radio telescopes and instruments for studying the Earth and the Universe. The Nanofabrication Laboratory on campus is one of the best-equipped university cleanrooms in Europe for research and fabrication of advanced semiconductor devices and integrated circuits. And our research laboratories, including the Kollberg Laboratory, are equipped with state-of-the-art photonics and microwave measurement equipment.

Your lectures will be delivered by globally-leading researchers and industry professionals, bringing advanced and contemporary knowledge from the cutting edge of the field directly to the classroom. The program offers a diverse range of educational activities, from lectures, tutorial exercises, home assignments, and team projects to practical laboratory work. The key focus in each of these learning activities is on gaining a deeper understanding of the concepts and their implications. The program does not aim to provide you with all the answers — rather, it helps you ask the right questions.

​Career

The industry is in the middle of the fourth industrial revolution, where the physical and digital worlds blend, and skilled experts in wireless and photonics technologies are needed. The telecom, aerospace, medical and automotive industries are all expected to grow in the coming years and students who have graduated from this program will be in high demand. Our alumni work as technical specialists in the design, research, development, or production of wireless and photonics components, and systems.

Entrepreneurship is strong in the region including many small enterprises and start-ups, for example, Omnisys Instruments (electronic systems for space), Medfield diagnostics (medical imaging), Bluetest (antenna test systems), Iloomina (photonic integration) and Gapwaves (integrated waveguide technology). The region is also a leading European R&D and industrial node including large companies such as Ericsson, Saab, Nvidia, and RUAG Space. Ericsson is one of the world's leading information and communication companies and has one of its R&D centers located in Gothenburg, Saab offers defense and security systems, Nvidia develops chip units, including photonics, for mobile computing and data center infrastructure, and RUAG Space develops antennas, data handling systems and on-board computers for the space sector.

The opportunities for an academic career are also excellent and a master’s degree from this program is a perfect background for pursuing Ph.D. studies in our research fields. Chalmers is internationally recognized for its cutting-edge research in microwave electronics, photonics, antennas, THz and mm waves, radio astronomy, plasma physics, space geodesy, and remote sensing.

General entry requirements

A Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, Technology, or Architecture

To fulfill the general entry requirement for a Master's program at Chalmers (at advanced level/the second cycle), the prospective student must hold a degree that is equivalent to a Swedish Bachelor's degree (minimum 3 years, 180 Swedish higher education credits) in either Science, Engineering, Technology or Architecture.

  • All applicants must document their formal academic qualifications to prove their eligibility. Only documentation from internationally recognized universities will be approved by the Swedish Council for Higher Education which manages the website universityadmissions.se.
  • If an applicant is also a holder of a second degree such as a Master's degree, that may be to fulfill specific (course) requirements, it cannot be used to fulfill the general entry requirement on its own.

In your final year of Bachelor's Studies

Students in their last year of studies who don't yet have documentation of their soon-to-be-completed degree can be accepted.

Restrictions

Degrees that are constructed on one another cannot consist of the same course

Applicants who fulfill the general entry requirements for the second cycle (master’s level) programs and eventually specific entry requirements can be admitted to a master’s program. Applicants cannot be evaluated as unqualified in the qualifying academic merits which include courses from the program’s plan in those programs that they have applied for if that occurs.

Courses included in an earned first cycle degree (bachelor’s level) or professional qualification of at least 180 cr. (180hp) or the equivalent foreign qualification that are prerequisites for master’s qualifications may not be included in the higher qualifications. This also applies to prerequisite courses for master’s programs, regardless of whether they are included in the underlying qualification. *

*) Local Qualifications Framework for Chalmers University of Technology - first and second cycle qualifications.

Restrictions for Citizens from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)

Chalmers cannot admit applicants with citizenship of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea only to any program or course, due to the Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 of 30 August 2017 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and repealing Regulation (EC) 329/2007.

For applicants with double citizenship of which one is of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the other of another country, the citizenship of the other country has precedence in this respect.​
