Wireless Engineering - Specialization
Wireless equipment is omnipresent. Today it is a natural part of everyday life for school children to elderly and disabled people. We connect our laptop wirelessly to the Internet and use mobile or satellite phones, GPS navigational systems, RFID, wireless patient monitoring, security systems and wireless keys. Breathtaking new applications that could hardly be imagined a few years ago are constantly appearing. The wireless equipment helps us to be safe and make life comfortable.
The objective of the Wireless Engineering study line is to provide the students with excellent qualifications to perform research and development of advanced electromagnetic systems for wireless communication technologies such as satellites, telecommunications, mobile communications, broadcasting, radar and radiometer systems, and remote sensing.
The study line in Wireless Engineering gives you the opportunity to work at all levels from theory to applications. The courses range from highly theoretical to highly practical including experimental work in advanced laboratories. The study line is research-based and application-driven—often in close cooperation with other universities, research organizations and industry.
The Wireless Engineering study line is anchored in the Department of Electrical Engineering (DTU Elektro) but includes courses from other DTU departments. The study line in Wireless Engineering is research-based and application-driven – often in close cooperation with other universities, research organizations, or industry.
Career opportunities: Companies (e.g., Nokia, Oticon, GN Resound, Procom, Molex, Cobham, RFS, Ticra, and MasterCom), organizations and universities working in the field of satellite, mobile and broadcast communication systems; radar and navigation systems; RF and microwave circuit design; and remote sensing. Furthermore, there are opportunities for excellent MSc graduates to pursue a PhD programme at DTU.
Wireless Engineering
Wireless systems for communication, sensing and energy transfer, form the backbone of our modern society and comprise an indispensable and omnipresent factor affecting our lives on a daily basis. We frequently utilize wireless connections of our laptops to the internet, we use mobile or satellite phones, GPS navigation systems, wireless patient monitoring, as well as a wide range of security and wireless keys and sensors. Breakthrough applications that could hardly be imagined a few years ago are constantly emerging and mold the development of the society as a whole.
The objective of the Wireless Engineering specialization is to provide the students with excellent qualifications to perform research and development of advanced electromagnetic systems for wireless communication, sensing and energy transfer technologies such as satellites, telecommunications, mobile communications, broadcasting, radar and radiometer systems, and remote sensing.
The specialization in Wireless Engineering gives you the opportunity to work at all levels from theory to applications. The courses range from highly theoretical to highly practical including experimental work in advanced laboratories such as the DTU Electromagnetic Test Centre. The specialization is research-based and application-driven—often in close cooperation with other universities, research organizations and industry.

Elective Courses
This group contains in principle all DTU's advanced level courses. In addition to regular courses, special courses are also accepted in this group of courses, provided that the topic and level of the special course is approved by DTU supervisors. Instead you may also choose to follow more programme specific courses or conduct a MSc thesis of 35 ECTS. Here are some relevant elective courses (but not limited):
| 01418 | Introduction to Partial Differential Equations | 5 | point | Autumn E5A (Wed 8-12) |
| 10350 | Numerical studies in physics | 5 | point | August |
| 34020 | Optics and photonics | 5 | point | Spring F1B (Thurs 13-17) |
| 34041 | Waveguide optics | 5 | point | Spring F4B (Fri 8-12) |
Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
