Wireless Communications Engineering University of Oulu

Overview

The two-year Wireless Communications Engineering programme from University of Oulu has two specialisation options:

Radio Access and Networks, and RF Engineering.

Students can select either the Radio Access and Networks (WCE-RAN) or Radio Frequency Engineering (WCE-RF) study option. In addition to the student’s preference, the field of their Bachelor's or equivalent studies and the possible interview are taken into account when the study option is confirmed.

There are no entrance-exams or pre-determined quotas of study places for WCE-RAN and WCE-RF study options. It is important to notice that mandatory courses of one specialization option can be taken as elective courses in other option, if a student wishes to broaden their expertise into the area of other study option.

• Radio Access and Networks

Studies in Radio Access and Networks concentrate on designing and applying radio access technologies both at physical layer and at network layer for 5G, IoT, and future mobile system generations.

• RF Engineering

Studies in RF Engineering focus on essential radio system components and provides knowledge on the design of integrated RF and DSP circuits for mobile handsets, base stations, 5G devices, IoT applications, and smart and energy efficient sensors.
