Block 1
Depending on your track record or your professional/research focus, some prerequisites/corequisites of your first year program might appear in bloc 2. You are therefore invited to go through the list of courses suggested in bloc 2 even if you enroll for the first time in this master program.
To complete their curriculum, students must earn or validate the 65 credits of the compulsory courses (including the master thesis), choose one option for 25 credits and 30 credits from one of the two professional foci.
Ideally, students enrolling in the master program should have acquired the skills and knowledge corresponding to the 40 credits in "Electrical engineering" offered as part of the bachelor program in engineering.
