Smart Systems are miniaturised systems, combining data processing with multi-modal (optical, biological, mechanical) sensing, actuation and communication functions. SSIs is a joint master programme delivered by three universities. Students can apply for an European scholarship during the studies. In SSIs, students spend a semester at each partner institutions (University of South-Eastern Norway, Aalto University Finland and BME) with leading expertise in the academic fields of Microsystems Technology. The three semesters provide taught courses with extensive laboratory and project work, taking advantage of the expertise at the institutions. The fourth semester is the master thesis project which can be carried out anywhere in Europe at industrial or academic partners.
You can start the application to SSIs in the https://ssi-master.eu/application/ website in January.
In the SSIs programme you can apply for Erasmus+ scholarship (linkto: https://ssi-master.eu/scholarships-and-fees/) with full tuition fee support, or study as a self-funded student, by paying tuition fees (linkto: https://ssi-master.eu/scholarships-and-fees/). Various other scholarships help you cover tuition fees and your living expenses during your studies. Successful PhD students may receive additional support from research grants.
You can study at BME with a scholarship or as a self-funded student, by paying tuition fees. Various scholarships help you cover tuition fees and your living expenses during your studies. Successful PhD students may receive additional support from research grants.
SSIs students receive a balanced combination of engineering and socio-economic courses (system level design, multiphysics modeling, life cycle assessment, reliability) and engineering practice (clean room work, advanced microstructure analysis, state-of-the-art computer aided design).
Translational Engineering, Understanding European Society
Phase I.; II.; III.
Smart systems engineers are one of the most demanded professionals in the field of microsystems technology worldwide. Most of the students (98.9%) are offered by positions at prestigious companies all around Europe right during the master thesis project or short after graduation. About half the graduated students continue their studies in PhD programmes at BME or other reputated universities. Related fields are MEMS design, microsystems, advanced sensors, biosensors and medtech, semiconductor industry, analog and digital chips design and verification.
