Master's in Embedded Intelligence Nanosystems Engineering

It transforms the world through the nanoscale.

Nanosystems and Embedded Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the development and application of nanoscale technologies and integration with electronics to create advanced devices and integrated systems such as sensors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) or embedded systems.

In the Nanosystems field, engineers manipulate materials and structures at the atomic or molecular scale to design and manufacture devices and systems with unique properties and specific functionalities. On the other hand, the Embedded Systems component concerns the design, development and implementation of computational and electronic systems integrated into physical devices, such as automatic control systems, medical devices, autonomous vehicles and IoT (Internet of Things) devices.

The Master in Nanosystems and Embedded Systems Engineering is your opportunity to explore and harness the capabilities of nanoscale technologies to design and implement advanced, intelligent and miniaturized electronic systems with low power consumption and high performance, for a wide range of industrial, biomedical, communication and consumer electronics applications.

Master's degree inserted in the European Program EMINENT (Erasmus Mundus).

Applications open until 1 March 2025.
