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 other 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 other 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 ».

Commune à la plupart des masters de l'EPL, cette option a pour objectif de familiariser l'étudiant·e avec les spécificités de l'entreprenariat et de la création d’entreprise afin de développer chez lui les aptitudes, connaissances et outils nécessaires à la création d'entreprise.
Cette option rassemble des étudiants de différentes facultés en équipes interdisciplinaires afin de créer un projet entrepreneurial. La formation interdisciplinaire en création d’entreprise (CPME) est une option qui s’étend sur 2 ans et s’intègre dans plus de 30 Masters de 9 facultés/écoles de l’UCLouvain. Le choix de l’option CPME implique la réalisation d’un mémoire interfacultaire (en équipe) portant sur un projet de création d’entreprise. L’accès à cette option, ainsi qu'à chacun des cours, est limité aux étudiant·es sélectionnés sur dossier. Toutes les informations sur www.uclouvain.be/cpme.
L'étudiant.e qui choisit de valider cette option doit sélectionner au minimum 20 crédits et au maximum 25 crédits. Cette option n'est pas accessible en anglais et ne peut être prise simultanément avec l'option « Enjeux de l'entreprise ».
