Technical University of Munich
Munich
Integrated Circuit Design (in Singapore (GIST))
Subjects: Technology
M.Sc. | Master of Science
Course description
The international Master of Science in Integrated Circuit Design, a collaborative program by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technische Universitaet Muenchen (Technical University of Munich, TUM), is designed to shape the future leaders and engineers of the semiconductor industry. Integrated circuits (ICs) have revolutionized our daily lives. Over the past five decades, technological advancements have allowed us to pack billions of transistors onto a single IC, while the cost per transistor has plummeted. This has led to a surge in innovative applications for ICs, driving the semiconductor industry to outpace the broader economy. Despite these manufacturing advancements, the industry struggles to fully leverage the potential of these transistors in product design. This gap underscores the urgent need for skilled integrated circuit design engineers. The electronics and semiconductor sectors are in constant search of professionals who can bridge this divide and drive the industry forward.
