MSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering

EPFL's MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering provides advanced theoretical and practical education across modern electrical, electronic and information technologies.

Students can specialise in AI and machine learning, edge computing and the Internet of Things, information technologies and signal processing, microelectronics, or nano and optoelectronics.

The programme combines advanced lectures with laboratory activities, engineering projects and research experience.

Students can develop expertise in areas such as electronic circuits, RF engineering, photonics, signal and image processing, telecommunications, embedded and connected systems, microelectronics, control and power technologies.

The programme is designed to prepare graduates for advanced technical careers in industry as well as doctoral research.

Applicants should hold a recognised Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a closely related field.

Applicants from institutions outside EPFL are assessed individually based on their academic dossier and are expected to demonstrate an excellent academic record.

Relevant preparation should include mathematics, electrical and electronic engineering fundamentals and suitable technical coursework in areas such as circuits, electronics, signals, systems, communications or related subjects.

Applicants with a related but not fully equivalent academic background may be required to complete additional credits to address gaps in prior preparation.

Meeting the published eligibility criteria does not guarantee admission because selection is competitive.

The programme is taught primarily in English, with some optional courses offered in French.

Applicants should have sufficient English-language proficiency to undertake advanced Master's-level coursework, laboratory activities, projects and examinations in English.

The official programme page does not currently publish a programme-specific mandatory IELTS or TOEFL minimum score.

Applicants should review EPFL's current Master's admission requirements for any language-document requirements applicable to their individual academic background.
