Erasmus Mundus European Master in Embedded Computing Systems (EMECS)

Overview

The European Master's Course in Embedded Computing Systems (EMECS) is designed to educate Bachelor graduates of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science as well as graduates from related disciplines to become experts in the field of Embedded Computing Systems.

EMECS is a two-year Master's Course (120 ECTS credits) that can be pursued at any two of the participating institutions. Students will earn 50% of the credits at each institution leading to a joint degree from the respective institutions.

Students participating in this programme will be trained in three major areas:

- Hardware architectures of embedded systems
- System-on-chip design
- System software

These areas constitute the "Core Programme" of EMECS and will be taught during the first year of study at each institution. Completion of the core programme (45 ECTS credits) will ensure the mobility of the students after the first year of study. The "Elective Programme" (45 ECTS credits) provides training in specialised topics of embedded system design and provides the background in typical application areas such as communication systems, automation & control and microsystems. The elective programme reflects the individual strengths of the participating institutions. The course is completed with a Master's thesis (30 ECTS credits) which typically contributes to a larger project conducted jointly with the industry.


Degree
Master of Science (MSc) in Embedded Computing Systems (joint degree by the consortium)

In Cooperation with
University of Southampton (UK)
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Course Language(s)
English; when studying at Kaiserslautern or Trondheim a basic language course in the respective national language is part of the programme.

Beginning of Programme
August - October (depending on institution chosen)

Programme Duration
Four semesters (two years)

The programme is an ERASMUS MUNDUS Programme:

Erasmus Mundus II is the flagship of the European excellence programmes in university education. Selected Master programmes receive substantial funding from the European Commission (EC) and, thus, are able to offer scholarships to their students. With its decision to select this programme (it is the only new course in 2009 under German coordination), the EC rewards the high visibility of the University of Kaiserslautern and its partners in the European Networks of Excellence HiPeak and ARTIST, as well as in numerous national and international research projects related to embedded systems.

Kaiserslautern will coordinate a consortium with the University of Southampton (UK) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
