Detailed programme by subject

The objective of this major is to provide students with knowledge in electromechanics and control. At the end of this major, the students will have acquired a basic training in power electronics and electrical energy networks. They will master the main aspects related to the use of electricity as an energy vector.

The objectives of the telecommunications major are: Present the general organisation of communication networks and systems (wired or wireless) Present communications from the framework of information theory covering data compression (source-coding) and replication (channel coding) Present the different elements of modern modems, as well as systematic design methods for detection blocks and required estimates Offer a range of design tools for modems and systems Through this major, students will master important concepts about IP networks, GSM, UMTS and DSL access networks as well as new communications methods.

The objective of this major is to provide students with new tools used to understand graphs, discrete mathematics, matrices, and optimisation. For example, students may use these tools when solving communication problems, analysing and recognising data and signals, cryptography and system identification.

The objective of the major in circuits and electronics systems (which it shares with oteco Master’s degree programmes in electrical engineering) is to introduce students to techniques of system design, computer simulation, manufacturing and experimental classification of electronic circuit components both numerical and analogue as well as the mixed systems associated with these components. Emphasis is placed on the practical applications necessary to carry out projects.

As with most of the oteco Master’s degree programmes in electrical engineering, computer science and applied mathematics, this major provides students with the knowledge to answer questions about information security with algorithms and mathematics as well as design and solve problems in the context of electronic circuits and information systems.

This major is not available in English and may not be taken at the same time as the major « Interdisciplinary program in entrepreneurship – CPME ».

In keeping with most of the EPL Masters’ degrees, the goal of this major is to familiarize the student with the specifics of entrepreneurship and business development in order to develop the necessary abilities, knowledge and tools to create a business. It is a truly interdisciplinary initiative where students from different faculties are brought togeteco in cross-disciplinary teams to create an entrepreneurial project.

The Interdisciplinary program in entrepreneurship (CPME) is spread over two years and is integrated into more than 30 Masters (9 faculties). The program includes a collective and interdisciplinary master thesis focused on an entrepreneurial project (start-up or spin-off) and realized in teams of 3 to 4 students from 3 to 4 different faculties. The access is reserved for a small number of students by a selection procedure. Additional information may be found at www.uclouvain.be/cpme.
