Planned double-degree extension of the CSP program

M. Sc. Communications and Signal Processing & M. Sc. Ingénerie des Systèmes Complexes

Currently, we are preparing a double-degree Master’s program together with the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France.

The Université de Lorraine is ranked among the top 10 % of European universities (edurank.org). Together with TU Ilmenau, being ranked among the top 10 % of European Universities in the field of electrical engineering, we bring together the remarkable mathematical and system engineering background from Nancy with the exceptional experience in wireless communications and signal processing at TU Ilmenau.

Besides top-level academic education, students of the double-degree program will get an even broader insight in the European culture and the scientific community.
