Congratulations on having been admitted to our master’s programme at Linköping University (LiU). You have been selected to join our competitive programme that teaches communication theory, signal processing, and networking. It will provide you with the analytical skills and practical know-how to set up a successful career. Communication engineers are being employed by traditional communication-focused companies, as well as consulting firms and companies that are just beginning their journey towards wirelessly connecting previously unconnected products.
The expertise of our faculty members has strongly influenced the curriculum. The programme provides a strong foundation in signal processing, an incredibly important tool in all systems engineering fields, hence, it will be useful throughout your career. We are also teaching the latest wireless technologies, including multiple-antenna communications, which is the main new aspect in 5G.
We take education seriously and want your time with us to be as useful as possible. The special admission requirements on calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, signals and systems, and basic programming are there for a reason. You will use these skills and theories in many courses, starting from the first week. We strongly recommend that you refresh your memory of these topics, for example by reading through course literature from your previous courses.
In class as well as in informal settings you will have a chance to learn from and interact with world-leading scholars. We are looking forward to incorporating you into this vibrant, international student body seeking to make an impact on future technologies. You will also meet many Swedish students who follow other programmes but are taking the same courses as you.
Again, welcome to our stimulating intellectual environment and this challenging programme.
