34 Physics and Nanotechnology <strong>MSc</strong> in Telecommunication Semesters: 4 Study credits: 120 ECTS Start: September 2007 Seats: 60 Application date: March 15 or June 1, 2007 The telecom sector plays a key role in modern society, and traditional areas of telecom, IT, and broadcast are rapidly converging to form a new sector for information and communication tech- nologies (ICT). This covers a wide range of topics, including advanced component design, complex network infrastructures, and development of services and ICT solutions that can meet the needs of the end users. The <strong>MSc</strong> in Telecommunication at <strong>DTU</strong> offers a unique possibility of having all these facets at one university and in one common education. As a student you can specialize in several ways, e.g. systems/networks, hardware design (especially optical devices and components), software design (including signal processing software) and applications of ICT. Five study lines are defined (see below), but the student may also make more individual selections to cover his or her special needs. Part of the individual projects in the study may be done in the industry or in another organization. The Copenhagen area has many possibilities covering every type of work from development centers for worldwide companies to small start-up companies. Study lines: Optical communication Design of optical communication systems and networks Signals and transmission technology Processing and transmission of signals in communication systems Protocols and network technologies Design, modeling and implementation of mobile and fixed communication networks ICT convergence and services Service development and integration for communication networks, seen from a technology, market, and users perspective ICT design, organizations and markets Combines knowledge about management and business economics with expertise in ICT systems analysis & design Career opportunities: The aim of this program is to train highly qualified engineers to a standard that will make them capable of performing research, development, planning, and analysis within a number of areas in telecommunication. Prerequisites: BSc degree in electronic engineering or computer engineering or other relevant academic background. Skills within the following subjects: Linear systems theory, electronic design, software engineering, basic telecommunication, data communication or communication theory.

It emphasizes a holistic understanding of how ICT solutions can address the needs of end users and organizations. You can choose to work with practical development of ICT solutions (applications or services) and you will learn how to analyze specific problem areas within ICT. The study line “ICT Convergence and Services” has the most technical profile. It focuses on service development and service architectures, and solutions are often based on new terminals and net- work technologies (mobile phones, PDAs, wireless networks, mobile TV, etc.). The sub-specialization “Digital Media Engineer” deals with interactive entertainment and games development. The study line “ICT Design, Organizations and Markets” combines knowledge about organizations, manage- ment and market economy with expertise in ICT system analysis and design. The program is part of the <strong>MSc</strong> in Telecommunication. Study lines: I CT Convergence and Services - including the sub-specialization “Digital Media Engineer” ICT Design, Organizations and Markets Career opportunities: A solid background within service development, networks and platforms combined with an understanding of user needs and market perspectives gives students a unique profile, which is highly demanded by network operators, device manufacturers, broadcasters, internet service providers, content providers, and many other market players within ICT. Knowledge on how to design, manage and market innovative ICT solutions and services is also in high demand by e.g. consulting firms, and any private or public organization involved in the design and implementation of systems and services based on advanced ICT. Within telecom companies and public administrations a good understanding of policy and market issues is also highly relevant. Prerequisites: BSc degree in electronic engineering or computer engineering or other relevant academic background.Skills within subjects such as software engineering, basic telecommunication, data communication, internet technologies, interaction design, user and market understanding Program coordinator: Associate professor Henning Olesen (olesen@cict.dtu.dk) Department: COM€<strong>DTU</strong>, Center for Information and Communication Technologies (www.cict.dtu.dk) Read more: www.cict.dtu.dk/Education/<strong>MSc</strong>_in_ICT.aspx http://www.com.dtu.dk/English/Education/Int_Msc.aspx
