Master by Research at STC

At the research center Sensible Things that Communicate, STC, we offer an education called Master by Research in the subjects of Electronics as well as Computer Engineering. The Master by Research programme targets those who are highly motivated to develop skills and knowledge for future career in academic, industrial or public R&D. This is also an excellent preparation for future doctoral studies.

Master by Research (MBR) is a study programme where you as a student will start up your own project, which after two years will lead to your Master's thesis. You will be a member of a research group at STC and carry out research closely supervised by your professor and other members of the group.

Only a few students will be admitted. If you have shown excellent results in your Bachelor studies and are self-motivated to further specialize in your field academically, this is something for you.
