Wireless Integrated Circuits and Systems

The WICS (Wireless Integrated Circuits and Systems) Master is a Master of Science degree focusing in integrated circuit and system design for Analog/Mixed/RF & millimeterwave applications. It gives students the opportunity to learn advanced skill sets with projects led by high-level research units, and teaches them the techniques and methodologies they will need to promote their research on an international level.

With a curriculum focusing on theoretical knowledge supported by practical applications, the WICS Master prepares students for a career in both the international research community and the professional applications. As they finish their training, graduate students are fully ready to pursue a career in thriving fields such as the Internet of Things, future wireless communication systems, sensor networks, or medical applications.

Grenoble (and more generally the French Alps area) is an exceptional research environment for nano & microelectronics (with the Minatec innovation campus). Thus the WICS master is supported by leading research laboratories and companies specialized in radiofrequency and microelectronics. Most students consequently choose to stay in the research field with a thesis, and our partners laboratories (IMEP-LAHC, CEA-Leti, LCIS and TIMA) hire about 15 doctoral students each year in the field of radiofrequencies.

1st year of Master's degree:

The prospective student should:

• have completed at least three full years of University studies (180 ECTS)

2nd year of Master's degree:

The prospective student should:

• have completed at least four full years of University studies (a first year of Master's degree, bachelor or equivalent degree with 240 ECTS)
• have followed basic classes in Electronics and Radio Frequency
• prove an English proficiency with CEFR (B2), TOEFL (IBT 87-109), IELTS (5.5-6.5), TOEIC (785-945) or equivalent. Students coming from English-speaking countries or/and who had a University curriculum in English are considered proficient enough. If you don't have the opportunity to take the test in your home University, an English test is organized during the first week of the classes, to check the level of everyone.
