About the Program
Microelectronics has not only triggered the enormous growth in information and communication technologies, but it has also become an important factor in many other areas. In recent years, technologies originally developed for microelectronics have been applied increasingly to the fabrication of miniaturised systems in electromechanical, electrooptical, analytical or biomedical applications. The new discipline is called microsystem technology. Future development will certainly result in the integration of microsystem components with microelectronic devices. In order to be able to cope with this challenge, the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) has introduced an innovative Master's programme in Microelectronics and Microsystems which combines both aspects. The technological challenges of modern society and the requirements of the globalised labour market call for an excellent engineering education as well as for a sound additional qualification in the fields of business and management, soft skills and humanities. Therefore, the international Master's degree courses at TUHH include a minimum number of non-technical compulsory elective courses. You are passionate about engineering, but do you want to go beyond? You can combine this course with a part-time MBA programme in Technology Management at the NIT Northern Institute of Technology Management. Thus, you will meet the industry demand for engineers with a business education. You will graduate with two Master's degrees simultaneously and benefit from multiple career perspectives. https://www.nithh.org/your-double-degree
