Radio Science and Engineering

The Master’s Programme in Radio Science and Engineering covers topics in radio science, electromagnetism, space technology, and circuit theory. After the common core courses in radio science and engineering and radio physics, students can choose between two areas of specialisation: radio engineering, or observation techniques for space and environment.

The programme provides an excellent possibility for a broad spectrum of studies in radio science and engineering with different focus areas. Students can focus on different aspects depending on their interests. Topics range from telecommunication applications to radio astronomy and environmental observation techniques.

The Programme is organised by the Department of Radio Science and Engineering. The department was selected as a Centre of Excellence (SMARAD) by the Academy of Finland for 2002–2007 (as Smart and Novel Radios Research Unit) and for 2008–2013 (as Smart Radios and Wireless Research Unit).

The Department is also involved in MilliLab (Millimetre Wave Laboratory of Finland), which has the status of External Laboratory of the European Space Agency (ESA). MilliLab is a joint research institute between Aalto and VTT(the Technical Research Centre of Finland).

The competence and expertise of the Department of Radio Science and Engineering in all the fields mentioned makes this unique combination programme possible. Our graduates will work for Finnish industry, universities and research institutes with an urgent need for engineers and specialists of this field.

The applicants should have a B.Sc. degree in a relevant field and good competence in mathematics, circuit analysis, field theory, and electronics.
