The ongoing and all-encompassing digitalisation process, which will eventually penetrate all industries and the whole society, builds largely on efficient communications infrastructures. The associated Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet paradigms refer to the future connected and programmable world, where not only people but also all things are able to communicate. They will have a significant impact on different vertical industries, such as energy, transportation, defence, logistics and manufacturing. Another prevailing trend in society and industry is robotisation. Modern inventions, such as autonomous cars and drones, strongly rely on highly efficient and reliable wireless communications. Finally, increasing use of modern artificial intelligence methods at different protocol layers is a major future trend.
Become a Modern Communication Systems Expert
The studies in Communication Systems and Networks focus on Future Internet, computer networks and the evolving and emerging (4G, 5G and beyond – 6G) wireless broadband and multi-service communication systems, which are crucial elements for the future connected world.
As a student you can freely specialise in the following focus areas:
- Networking and Computer Networks covers various aspects of wired and wireless packet switched networks and the Future Internet.
- Radio Systems and Networks provides you a theoretical understanding and skills related to the practical optimisation and planning of wireless radio communication systems and networks.
We offer you a unique learning environment for Communication Systems and Networks.
Career Opportunities in Communication Systems and Networks
Graduates are typically employed by mobile communication network operators, R&D houses, wireless device and network vendors, defence industry, governmental agencies, consulting companies, and research institutes. Following the successful completion of the programme, our graduates will also be eligible to apply for admission to doctoral programmes in Finland or abroad.
Overall, the global mobile communications industry is a massive employer with an annual volume over 1 trillion USD. The field offers excellent career prospects worldwide. With the utilisation of the communications infrastructure penetrating into all industry sectors as a result of digitalisation, experts in communications engineering also have a broad range of career prospects, for example, in the energy, transportation and automotive industries, defence industry, as well as in different production and manufacturing verticals which are outside the basic ICT field.
Communication Systems and Networks (MSc Tech) is one of the engineering specialisations in the Master’s Programme in Computing Sciences and Electrical Engineering.
