- Description/content
- The two-year programme comprises 18 months of coursework, divided into three teaching periods in Delft, Zurich, and Aachen. During this time, students attend lectures and participate in extensive hands-on data acquisition and processing exercises. Lectures on various research-level subjects are also included in the programme. The final five months are devoted to a research thesis project at one of the three universities or in industry. The thesis is a key component in the preparation and training of specialists for the practical world.
