Electronics Engineering

Overview

The programme in Electronics Engineering at Linköping University provides a competitive education in digital, analogue and radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits (IC) and System-on-Chip (SoC) design, combined with in-depth knowledge in signal processing, application specific processors, embedded systems design, modern communications systems, and radio transceiver design.

Modern society depends on reliable and efficient electronics. Mobile phones, the Internet, computers and TVs are just a few examples that constantly improve in terms of functionality, performance and cost. In addition, a growing number of concepts and technologies significantly improve areas such as mobile and broadband communication, healthcare, automotive technology, robotics, energy systems management, entertainment, consumer electronics, public safety and security, industrial applications, and much more. 

This suggests that there will be vast industrial opportunities in the future, and a high demand for skilled engineers with the knowledge and skills required to lead the design of such complex integrated circuits and systems.

Career opportunities

This programme has produced many talented electronics engineers currently working in leading companies and research organisations worldwide. Graduates can expect excellent career opportunities in major research and development centres, both in industry and in academic institutions. They are specifically trained and qualified to work as IC design engineers in major semiconductor, IC, and telecom companies. Electronics is generally a key part of product developments for many IT companies, hence there is a wide range of job opportunities for expert electronics engineers.
