As the 40 ECTS study line courses, you must combine study line courses at level I (fundamental) and level II (advanced), of which minimum 15 ECTS must be at level II.

Academic prerequisites: Be aware that courses may have requirements to course competences obtained prior to course attendance.

Course descriptions: For details on the listed study line course’s content, academic prerequisites and examination, read more in the AU Course catalouge.

As the 30 ECTS of elective courses you can choose:

1.  Study lines courses

You can select additional study line courses

2. Study group course

You can choose study group courses (5 ECTS courses possible. Up to 10 ECTS in total)

• Study course example

You may attend maximum 10 ECTS of bachelor level-courses during your master education as part of the 30 ECTS elective courses. A bachelor level-course is typically to be used for entirely new topics, i.e. outside primary focus of your bachelor education, to ensure you fulfill the required academic prerequisites.

The R&D project is an open, independent, research-based work performed under research supervision. The project can be a “sister-project” to a master thesis, or an opportunity to explore an entirely different scientific area. The project can either be carried out in a research group at the university, or in collaboration with or carried out in a company. The main supervisor of the R&D project you make an agreement with yourself directly among the researchers at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. A project can be of 5 or 10 ECTS, but a student can take maximum 10 ECTS in total.

The R&D project topic can be closely related to your master thesis topic, but the two projects must have different problem statements. In the master thesis, you can refer to your R&D work as you would cite any other research paper, yet be aware that you may not plagiarize your own R&D project text in the master thesis.

In the academic regulations, you can find more information about the structure of the degree programme, and the requirements for you as a student – including overall educational learning goals and study progression rules.
