Microelectronics and Digital Communication

The Bachelor’s degree programme in Microelectronics and Digital Communication at Poznan University of Technology is a comprehensive engineering programme focused on future-oriented technologies. The programme combines microelectronics, programming and digital communication, which are key areas for modern economies and technology-driven industries. It is offered by the Faculty of Computing and Telecommunications. The programme is taught in English, lasts 7 semesters and is delivered as a full-time first-cycle degree. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree.

The programme is based on three main pillars: microelectronics, programming and digital communication. Students gain knowledge and practical skills in microcomputers, programmable logic circuits, electronic board design, programming languages, x86 processors, ARM processors, signal processors, field-programmable gate arrays, satellite communication, smartphone communication, multimedia communication and quantum communication.

Microelectronics and Digital Communication is designed to help students not only use modern technologies but also design, create and programme them. Students learn through creating, designing and programming while exploring new techniques of the digital world. The programme covers technologies that connect the real world with the virtual one, including extended and virtual reality, human-machine communication, smart devices, sensors, networks and drones.

During their studies, students learn how modern electronic systems work, how hardware and software interact, how to programme smart equipment, how to analyse communication systems and how to communicate effectively with sensors, networks, devices and people. The curriculum is oriented towards practical knowledge and prepares students to become future-focused engineers whose skills are sought after worldwide.

This programme is suitable for candidates who want to understand how modern technologies work and who are open to learning programming. It is a strong choice for students interested in microelectronics, computing, digital communication, smart devices and modern engineering systems. Candidates are expected to have logical and analytical thinking skills, good knowledge of science and a willingness to build, assemble, test and experiment.

Internships are an important part of the study experience. Students complete a mandatory vocational internship in the sixth semester. They may also have opportunities to complete internships and traineeships abroad through Erasmus+, EUNICE and IAESTE programmes, as well as gain practical experience in leading information technology companies. These opportunities help students apply their academic knowledge in real technology environments.

Graduates of the Microelectronics and Digital Communication programme at Poznan University of Technology may pursue careers in microelectronics, embedded systems, digital communication, hardware design, electronic board design, programming, network systems, smart device technologies, communication systems and research and development. The programme’s modern research and teaching infrastructure, practice-oriented curriculum, experienced academic staff and cooperation with industry support strong career prospects in the technology sector.
