The most advanced design key to success
Nokia designs the most advanced chips in Europe for 5G on the latest IC technology nodes in Finland. Soc Hub collected Tampere University and companies to create very large SoCs, for example the Headsail SoC with 330M transistors in 2023. The success is based on a three-decade expertise on FPGA and DSP based multiprocessor system designs in Tampere.
System-on-Chip Design is a unique specialization to make professional engineers for creating the most demanding SoCs in the world. The education is organized in collaboration with the companies that offer trainee positions, career and skills mentoring, open doors visit, student events throughout the studies, and positions for the Master Thesis work. Tampere university offers the most current design tools and courses bringing the latest research results and hot industrial topics for the students. You will study courses covering the complete design cycle of a modern System-on-Chip.
Previous knowledge and way to expertise
As a student, we expect you to know the basics of electronics, digital logic, processors, computer architecture, and programming. Having prior learning in computer networks, wireless communications or signal processing is recommended.
After completing the programme, you will be qualified to pursue a wide range of career opportunities in different fields of System-on-Chip design. You will have the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in industry or continue your studies towards a doctorate.
