Master in Information and Communication Technologies, mICT

Master in Information and Communication Technologies is a 2-year part-time study programme, which you attend alongside your work. The internationally oriented programme, which is taught in English, will give you technical qualifications within key areas related to information and communication technologies.

The programme will provide you with a solid technical foundation and skills enabling you to participate in technological development in the communications sector, including traditional telecommunication, mobile, internet and broadband.

The programme includes:

• Networks and services
• Design and users
• Market and regulation

The mICT programme is taught as project organised problem-based learning using IT distance educational tools.

The mICT programme is divided into 3 semesters:

• Semester 1 - ICT Systems and Networks: The purpose of the first semester is to give the student a fundamental understanding of the technologies behind ICT systems and networks. The main part of the courses and project themes for the first semester are in the area of product technology. The aim is to give the student insight in ICT communication systems, protocols and basic concepts concerning Internet Protocols (IP).
• Semester 2 - Application of ICT in Organisations: This semester focuses on organisations and their use of ICT. It covers the organisational processes involved in the design of new applications and services, with special focus on creativity and user involvement.
• Semester 3 - ICT Markets and Economy: The third part of the study line consists primarily of the student's final project work - the thesis, which will be supplemented, as in other semesters, by a number of courses. The project work on the third semester consists of the final thesis. The theme for the thesis is chosen freely by the student based on personal interests and professional qualifications. The aim is to give the student insight in the economic, business and regulatory aspects of the development of the market within information and communication technologies.
