Detailed programme by subject

The objective of this major is to provide students with knowledge in electromechanics and control. At the end of this major, the students will have acquired a basic training in power electronics and electrical energy networks. They will master the main aspects related to the use of electricity as an energy vector.

• provide an overview of the structure and organisation of communication networks and systems, both fixed and wireless
• introduce communications within the unified framework of information theory, including data compression (source coding) and transmission redundancy (channel coding)
• explain the components of modern modems and teach systematic methods for designing essential detection and estimation blocks
• equip students with the tools to design modems and systems, specifically addressing challenges in wireless communications.

The objectives of the telecommunications major are: Present the general organisation of communication networks and systems (wired or wireless) Present communications from the framework of information theory covering data compression (source-coding) and replication (channel coding) Present the different elements of modern modems, as well as systematic design methods for detection blocks and required estimates Offer a range of design tools for modems and systems Through this major, students will master important concepts about IP networks, GSM, UMTS and DSL access networks as well as new communications methods.

The objective of this major is to provide students with new tools used to understand graphs, discrete mathematics, matrices, and optimisation. For example, students may use these tools when solving communication problems, analysing and recognising data and signals, cryptography and system identification.

The objective of the Electronic Circuits and Systems option, which is common to the Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Electromechanical Engineering Masters' degrees, is to introduce students to the techniques of systematic design, computer simulation, manufacturing and experimental characterisation of analogue and digital electronic components and circuits and mixed systems combining these components. Emphasis is placed on practical applications and project work.

Common to most Master’s degree programmes in electrical engineering, computer science and applied mathematics, this major equips students with the skills to address information security issues. It covers both the algorithmic and mathematical foundations, as well as the design and implementation of solutions in the context of electronic circuits and computer systems.

This major is not available in English and may not be taken at the same time as the major « Interdisciplinary program in entrepreneurship – CPME ».

The aim of this option, which is common to most EPL masters' programmes, is to familiarise students with the specifics of entrepreneurship and business creation, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and tools necessary for starting a business.

The interdisciplinary entrepreneurship training (INEO) is an option that spans two years and is integrated into over 30 Master's programmes across 9 faculties/schools at UCLouvain.

Choosing the INEO option requires completing an interfaculty dissertation (in teams) focused on a business creation project. Access to this option, as well as to each of its courses, is limited to students selected based on their application.

Full details are available at https://uclouvain.be/fr/etudier/ineo.

Students who choose this option must select a minimum of 20 credits and a maximum of 25 credits. This option is not available in English and cannot be taken simultaneously with the "Business Risks and Opportunity" option.
