This European master’s in embedded computing systems (EMECS) is a 2 year course run in partnership with Kaiserslautern University in Germany and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
We are experts in system-on-chip (SoC) and electronics, NTNU specialise in electronics and communications, and Kaiserslautern in embedded systems. You’ll learn the fundamentals of embedded computing systems and experience life and study in different countries.
Our MSc embedded systems degree is a European-based master’s. It allows you to study in 2 countries at different universities.
On this embedded systems master’s degree you’ll learn the technologies that are transforming our communication systems. You'll get expert training from the:
- University of Southampton as a leader in system on chip electronics
- Kaiserslautern University for embedded systems
- Norwegian University of Science and Technology for electronics and communication
- Politecnico di Torino for embedded system and electronics design
You’ll study the fundamentals of embedded computing systems to the same education level at any of the universities. You’ll get to choose what electives you study, and the options on offer reflect the University’s individual profiles and their research institutions.
We regularly review our courses to ensure and improve quality. This course may be revised as a result of this. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Find out why, when, and how we might make changes.
Our courses are regulated in England by the Office for Students (OfS).
