Embedded Systems
MSc Programme
Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier,
interesting, safer and more sustainable. Examples of systems in which embedded
systems play a crucial role are: smart phones, medical equipment, cars, traffic control,
airplanes, robots, etc. These innovations are at the heart of industrial innovation and
competitiveness, creating and sustaining jobs and economic well-being.
