Master in Electronics, electrical energy, automation

Wireless integrated circuits and systems (WICS)

Presentation and goals

The WICS (Wireless integrated circuits and systems) master is a master degree focusing in integrated circuit and system design for Analog/Mixed/RF & millimeterwave applications. It gives students the opportunity to learn advanced skill sets with projects led by high-level research units ; the techniques and methodologies they will need to promote their research on an international level will be studied.

With a curriculum focusing on theoretical knowledge supported by practical applications, the WICS master prepares students for a career in both the international research community and the professional applications. As they finish their training, graduate students are fully ready to pursue a career in thriving fields such as the Internet of Things, future wireless communication systems, sensor networks, or medical applications.

Further information

Grenoble (and more generally the French Alps area) is an exceptional research environment for nano & microelectronics (with the Minatec innovation campus). Thus the WICS master is supported by leading research laboratories and companies specialized in radiofrequency and microelectronics. Most students consequently choose to stay in the research field with a thesis, and our partners laboratories (TIMA, RFIC-Lab, CEA-Leti, LCIS, IMEP-LAHC) hire about 10 doctoral students each year in the field of radiofrequencies.

A double degree with Politecnico di Torino has been created. It concerns the WICS Master in France (at the UGA and Grenoble INP) and the Laurea magistrale in Ingegneria elettronica in Italy (at Politecnico di Torino). Courses are taught in English. The first year of this program is taught at PoliTo, the second year at UGA/Grenoble INP.
