Overview

Key features

The Wireless Communications programme from Lund University focuses on the physical and lower layers of wireless communication. Lund University has excellent resources and offers students the opportunity to learn from world-leading researchers. 

All of our students undertake a research project for their Master's thesis. The project can be academic in nature, or developed within the industry. These projects can lead to patent registrations and successful entrepreneurial initiatives. Examples of companies where students have performed their thesis are Bitcraze, Bombardier, Ericsson, Huawei Technologies, Lite-on Mobile, and Procera Networks (all located in Sweden) and FTW (Austria). 

Career prospects:

The programme provides students with a solid base for a career in wireless communications – either in industry or academia. Our graduates have the necessary skills for both research and development, e.g. understanding and developing future wireless systems, developing wireless networks for special applications and understanding and enhancing existing solutions.

The surrounding area is home to a number of global brands in the field such as Ericsson, Huawei, and Sony. Other companies with operations close to Lund University include Axis, ARM Sweden and Volvo. Many students start working with these companies directly after graduation. The European Spallation Source (ESS) and MAX IV large-scale research facilities, both located in Lund, also offer students many exciting career opportunities.
