Master's Degree in Intelligent Chips and Systems (RESCHIP4EU)

EIT Digital Master School and RESCHIP4EU offer a two-year certified and customisable double degree programme in Intelligent Chips and Systems, allowing you to study at two top-tier universities in different European countries. The RESCHIP4EU project, developed and delivered under European Union‘s Digital Europe Programme, aims to support the excellence of EU higher education around embedded systems design in a holistic way. 

Student profile

The double degrees blend technical expertise with entrepreneurial experience and mindset. This programme prepares you to design and integrate embedded technologies that power everything from smartphones and smart appliances to autonomous vehicles and advanced robotic systems, while also developing the ability to navigate the complex trade-off between technological innovation and business impact.

The Intelligent Chips and Systems Master's programme is open to applicants with either a Bachelor of Science degree or who are in their final year of study in:

• Computer Science
• Computer Engineering
• Software Engineering
• Electrical or Communication Engineering
• Information Systems
• Mechatronics
• Mathematics

Career prospects

The interdisciplinary master's programme is designed to approach intelligent chips and systems from both a hardware and software design perspective. Through a combination of core courses, specialisations, and hands-on experience, you will master modern techniques in computation, networking, and physical process integration to create impactful, real-world cyber-physical solutions. 

The programme covers such specific skills as:

• IoT (Internet of Things)
• Chip design
• Embedded systems
• Edge computing
• Microelectronics
• Energy-efficient system design
• Connected and intelligent systems
• Cyber-physical systems integration

To enhance your learning, the programme includes an opportunity to get real-world experience through an internship during your second year as part of your master's thesis. You will work directly with companies, research institutes, or innovation hubs across Europe, applying your skills to tackle industry-relevant challenges and building valuable connections with future employers.

The Intelligent Chips and Systems student and alumni community work at companies such as Airbus, Ericsson, European Space Agency, imec, ING, Luxoft GmbH, Nokia, Philips, Fraunhofer-Institut für Offene Kommunikationssysteme FOKUS, and Zound Industries (Marshall Group AB).

Graduates also decide to either launch their own startups, applying their microelectronics expertise to real-world challenges, or pursue a PhD to deepen their research and contribute to advancing the field of chips design or microelectronics.
