About the programme

Microelectronic Systems is an English-taught Master of Science at the West Coast University of Applied Sciences (FH Westküste) in Heide, offered jointly with HAW Hamburg. It takes 3 semesters (90 ECTS). You apply to FH Westküste for a summer start and to HAW Hamburg for a winter start. The programme focuses on developing and applying microelectronic systems, key technologies for the energy transition and digitalisation. Modules include system on chip, embedded signal processing, smart sensor systems, microtechnology, chip design, machine learning on embedded devices and high-speed digital design, plus two sustainable research projects; the third semester is your Master's thesis and colloquium. You design circuits with industry-standard software, test them in well-equipped labs, and can work with partners such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology (ISIT). The degree also qualifies you for a PhD.
