The Master of Engineering in VLSI Systems is designed to equip students with a detailed knowledge of the design, fabrication and test of VLSI Systems. It will appeal to students with a science or engineering background who wish to change their career focus and move into the microelectronics industry.
The course is offered in two modes, part-time and full-time (subject to demand). The part-time mode facilitates students currently in employment. It is a block-release course over four academic terms, spanning two years. The full-time course spans a single academic year, and requires full-time attendance on campus. Both versions have the same academic content.
Objectives
The course provides a comprehensive founding in the theory of microelectronic systems, as well as exposure to state of the art design techniques and toolsets.
Careers
The Masters in VLSI Systems is designed to address the shortage of graduates skilled in both digital and analogue VLSI systems design. Graduates from the course are well placed to take up rewarding careers in the VLSI industry, including IC design, manufacturing and test, as well as research into future developments in the VLSI area.
The course consists of a taught component and a project.
