Graduates can gain practical experience while working on their thesis in companies focused on the design, research, development, production, testing, and implementation of integrated circuits or semiconductor materials at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The program is further complemented by excursions to chip design centers.
Characteristics of EIS study programme
The Electronics and Integrated Systems (EIS) study program emphasizes theoretical knowledge and practical insight in the areas of chip and chip technology design, electronic systems, practical electronics, and signal processing. The program prepares experts who cover the entire development cycle – from the idea and design of electronic systems and devices to their successful implementation in real-world operations. This makes them sought-after specialists in the technical field.
You will visit companies and chip centers
