Master's Program in Electronics and Nanotechnology

We are surrounded by wireless technologies almost everywhere we go, space technology is skyrocketing thanks to small satellites, and nanotechnology is enabling major breakthroughs in fields like modern computing and energy harvesting. In the Electronics and Nanotechnology Master’s Programme, the focus is strongly on creating these cutting-edge ​​technologies needed to build sustainable and energy-efficient solutions for the modern world.

Some of the key enablers of developing new technology are semiconductors used especially in microchips. In Finland, there is a large cluster of companies specialised in the design and manufacture of semiconductors. These companies are investing heavily in the field to advance the country’s and the whole EU’s self-sufficiency in microchips. At the same time, the demand for professionals who have the skills to design semiconductors is rapidly increasing.

As a very high-tech oriented Master’s Programme, Electronics and Nanotechnology provides engineering students with all the necessary knowledge and tools to develop electronic devices and components – such as semiconductors – that shape society for the better. Students also learn how advanced materials and structures can be utilised in industrial processes. During their studies, students get to use state-of-the-art software and, depending on their chosen major, do experiments in world-class research facilities like Metsähovi Radio Observatory and Micronova, which has the biggest cleanroom in the Nordic countries.

The programme offers five majors: Micro- and Nanoelectronic Circuit Design; Microwave Engineering; Photonics and Nanotechnology; Space Science and Technology; and Wireless and RF Engineering.

Electronics and Nanotechnology graduates have:

• Fundamental knowledge in their field. Graduates understand the substantial practices and key scientific theories of their chosen specification area.
• A toolbox for building technology. Graduates can design and build technological hardware relevant to their chosen specification area.
• A researcher’s mindset. Graduates possess a strong theoretical background and a research-oriented, scientific, and academic approach to solving problems.
• Revolutionary potential. Graduates are experts in technologies that change rapidly and will in many ways redefine the world we live in.
