Wireless Communications

Overview

The Shanghai ranking (ARWU) ranks Lund University among the top 20 universities in the world in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering for the year 2017. The University has excellent resources in the area of wireless communication and can offer students the opportunity to learn from world-leading researchers, in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Research and education are closely linked to the department. All of our teachers are themselves educated to PhD level or higher and are actively engaged in research. The Wireless Communications programme from Lund University focuses on the physical and lower layers of wireless communication.

The aim is to give our students in-depth system knowledge, which in turn requires insights into the various components in a wireless system. The courses included in the programme all hold a high international standard. In addition to the taught courses, 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, and can be carried out either in Lund or abroad. 

Career prospects

The programme provides students with a solid grounding for a career in wireless communication – either in industry or academia. On completion of the programme, 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.
