This programme aims to provide students with knowledge and skills in the key aspects of communication, semiconductor, medical and embedded electronics. Students can specialise in either communications electronics (embedded systems, networking, etc.) or cognitive electronics (sensors, sensor networks, medical diagnostics, measurement systems). The programme is supported by the ELIKO Competence Centre and the CEBE Centre of Excellence.
The students also have a chance to take part in significant research projects (e.g. implantable devices for cardiac monitors, sensors and monitors for transplanted organs and tissues, material quality measurement systems, smart home and city systems).
The research and study areas are situated in modern facilities and are equipped with modern computers, software, measurement equipment and tools that provide excellent opportunities for the students to either study or conduct research. All students of the IT-field are offered practical placement and job opportunities in Estonia or abroad already during the studies which provides professional experience in the field.
The programme provides the specialist knowledge and skills needed for a career leading to high-end technical or technology roles in communicative electronics. Possible future work positions include: designer of computer or automation systems and components, designer of electronics, monitoring and communication systems and their components, senior engineer, hardware developer, project manager, software engineer, etc.
An incomplete list includes the majority of famous worldwide electronics and communication engineering companies, particularly: Stoneridge Estonia, Ericsson Estonia, ABB, AS Siemens, Intel Europe, Texas Instruments, Liewenthal Electronics, Incap Electronics, UTU Elektrotehnika AS, Skype Technologies OÜ, Eesti Energia, LDI Innovation OÜ, Domestic and international hospitals like PERH, ITK, Tartu University clinicum, etc.
Biomedical Engineering has enormous potential to make a positive impact on human health.
Biomedical engineers address healthcare problems from a unique perspective, blending an understanding of biomedical science with specialist knowledge of engineering techniques and problem-solving skills.
You will focus on human systems, the design and operation of devices and processes, and the application of engineering skills to new medical treatments, instruments and machines.
Our reputation for biomedical innovation in areas such as medical bionics, prostheses and tissue engineering, ensures you are learning from leaders in the field, who are working on exciting projects aimed at solving major health dilemmas.
The Master of Engineering (Biomedical) will lead to a formal qualification in biomedical engineering at the Masters level.
Step into the world of medical device development through BioDesign Innovation, an interdisciplinary biomedical engineering subject, where you work in a team with MBA students to create a prototype and develop a supporting business plan.
Biomedical engineers: develop new drug therapies; study the electrical and/or mechanical activity of organs such as the brain, heart, muscle and bone; build artificial organs, limbs, heart valves and bionic implants to replace lost function; develop orthopaedic devices to treat bone and joint conditions; and grow living tissues to replace failing organs.
Employment opportunities exist in the biotechnology, biomedical, pharmaceutical, medical device and equipment industries, in research and innovation, in the health services and hospitals, in government and consulting, and for companies such as Cochlear, Sanofi, Cell Therapies, Compumedics, GlaxoSmithKline and Zimmer Biomet.
The Master of Engineering is professionally recognised under two major accreditation frameworks — EUR-ACE® and the Washington Accord (through Engineers Australia). Graduates can work as chartered professional engineers throughout Europe, and as professional engineers in the 17 countries of the Washington Accord.

The Master of Engineering (Biomedical with Business) will lead to a formal qualification in biomedical engineering at the Masters level.
Step into the world of medical device development through BioDesign Innovation, an interdisciplinary biomedical engineering subject, where you work in a team with MBA students to create a prototype and develop a supporting business plan.
The Master of Engineering (with Business) is designed to provide students with a formal qualification in engineering at the masters level, with a business specialisation that recognises the need for engineers to understand the management and workings of modern professional organisations.
Students who undertake the Master of Engineering (with Business) replace five advanced technical electives with five business subjects that have been tailored specifically for engineering students and co-developed with Melbourne Business School.
Graduates will have a grounding in financial, marketing and economic principles enabling them to work efficiently in any organisation, as well as the ability to apply the technical knowledge, creativity and team work skills learnt in their engineering training. This combination of knowledge and skills will be a powerful asset in the workplace.

This Master of Engineering (with Business) degree is professionally recognised under EUR-ACE®. Graduates can work as chartered professional engineers throughout Europe.
This Master of Engineering (with Business) degree is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia. In line with Engineers Australia policy on granting accreditation to new courses, full accreditation cannot be granted until sufficient students have graduated from the program. Once full accreditation has been granted, it will be back-dated to include all graduates from the start of the program.
Electrical and electronic engineers play a key role in the design, implementation and management of electrical systems to solve practical problems, such as systems for automation, surveillance, energy conversion, power distribution, telecommunications and information processing.
You will develop technical skills through fundamental theory and practical laboratory work, learning from leading experts, who are working on a range of ground breaking projects from developing bionic implants and creating models and devices to better understand and treat diseases, such as autism and epilepsy, to creating energy efficient telecommunication systems and deploying sensor networks to monitor and manage the environment. You will have the opportunity to take part in a research project in electronic and photonic system design, telecommunications, power networks, signal processing and automatic control systems.
The Master of Engineering (Electrical) will lead to a formal qualification in electrical engineering.
