Objectives
Information technologies have led to the new era of communication which in turn has rapidly changed many aspects of society from individual behaviour to the global economy. Numerous services have become very common such as calling and sending emails from almost everywhere, purchasing online, watching digital TV through ADSL connections or via satellite digital broadcast, travelling using GPS, etc. All these applications necessarily rely on fixed and mobile networks that are based on sophisticated telecommunication systems and complex infrastructures.
This MSc programme is aimed at future experts for the design and/or administration of high-performance telecommunication networks. This requires a wide range of knowledge including wireless, wired and optical transmission systems, network architectures and protocols as well as some aspects of computer science. Professionals are therefore multi-field engineers rather than narrowly focused specialists.
This Master also offers possibilities of PhD studies in the Telecommunication field.
Competences acquired
Thanks to Telecom Bretagne's expertise in Telecommunication Engineering and Research postgraduate education, high-level competences are acquired not only in technical fields but also in teamworking, written and oral communication, innovation and project management.
French language is also one of the new competences that helps work in France and other French-speaking countries or for French companies abroad.
Typical jobs
The course in Telecommunication Systems Engineering trains students to become project leaders in the field of fixed and mobile networks. Students also become system designers capable of mastering the integration of cutting-edge technologies in new telecommunication systems. These activities may be undertaken with equipment providers, with telecom operators, as well as with companies which use or roll out telecommunication networks.
