Work across the semiconductor innovation cycle

Graduates are prepared for careers in semiconductors, microelectronics, smart systems, artificial intelligence and digital engineering.

Where graduates work

Electronics and telecommunications

Product development, R&D and technical consulting in fast-growing electronics and communication companies.

Healthcare, energy and automotive

Smart systems for healthcare technology, renewable energy, automotive systems, robotics and industrial automation.

Manufacturing and quality

Career support

The programme works with industrial clusters at Norwegian and European level, the European Platform on Smart Systems (EPoSS) and the Norwegian Centre of Expertise for Micro- and Nanotechnologies (NCE-MNT). This enables company visits, guest speakers and the chance to do your master project in industry in Norway or elsewhere in Europe.
