Admission for Master program in Communications Engineering 2025

I. PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

The Master Program in Communications Engineering is designed for graduates of bachelor’s programs in electronics and telecommunications engineering or related fields who are currently employed in private companies, public agencies, and not-for-profit organizations that are operating in the field of telecommunications. The Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (FEEE) at Ton Duc Thang University is proposing the creation of the Communications Engineering (CE) graduate degree program, with the goals of preparing FEEE graduates to join a high-quality educated workforce for telecommunications, an area of national and international need. Employment for the research and design units at the national and international telecommunication corporation, as well as the team of professors and researchers in academic institutions must obtain high level of knowledge to satisfy the demand of the field.

II. THE EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Understand and be able to determine the main problems to solve in scientific research; select the appropriate methodology and solutions for the problem; be able to implement the solutions and adjust them during the practical applying process.
  • Advanced knowledge and understanding of the scientific methodology on information theory, signal processing, data communication networks, link analysis, electronic devices and integrated circuit design, transmitter and receiver design.
  • Understand and be able to apply the procedures, principles, research methods, design and programming techniques to control and operate the communication systems; such as computer networks, data networks, mobile communication networks, optical communication and satellite communication systems, video broadcasting systems …

III. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

- Consultants, managers and leaders of domestic and international companies.

- Companies and/or brand establishment.
