Telecommunications and remote sensing systems form an integral and essential part of modern society for high speed distribution of fast increasing vast amounts of data and for the collecting essential
New amenities like the internet, smartphones and digital TV have become available in a very short period of time. Nowadays, it is easy for anyone to exchange any type of information by wired and wireless media at any time and any place. The rise of social media has a significant impact on the bandwidth needed. Safeguarding security and privacy are important social themes, while consumers are asking for smaller and more energy-efficient devices.
Telecommunication engineers develop and manage transmission systems, protocols, networks and services for short-range applications like Wifi and RFID, but also for future mobile and optical fibre networks covering the whole world. Another domain of this master is that of extremely high frequency (microwave and THz) applications and observation systems, including radar and remote sensing technologies for such varied tasks as safety scanners, weather forecasting and inspection of crops.
