Education
Doctorate Program in "Emerging Microelectronic Technologies"
The Industrial and International Doctorate program titled “Emerging Microelectronic Technologies: Integrating Novel Materials into Mainstream IC Production” aims to enhance research in semiconductor technologies by fostering collaboration between academia and industry. This program is integrated into the existing Doctorate in Information and Communication Technologies at the University of Granada and emphasizes industrial and international research experiences. Doctoral candidates will work on industry-relevant projects with company partnerships and are required to undertake research stays at prestigious foreign institutions. The program will develop highly qualified professionals capable of advancing the semiconductor field, with a focus on novel materials and their applications. Additionally, students may earn dual degrees from both the University of Granada and partner institutions, such as the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan.
Master program in “Innovative Microelectronic Circuit Design”
The Master’s program, consisting of 60 ECTS credits, aims to provide specialization and skill enhancement for graduates with degrees in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), focusing on semiconductors. Recognizing a gap in specialized training for semiconductor industry roles, the program aligns with Spain’s strategic initiatives to bolster its semiconductor sector and R&D capabilities. It prepares highly qualified professionals in CMOS technology and emerging semiconductor materials, essential for future applications like IoT, optoelectronics, and quantum computing. The curriculum includes practical experience in the University of Granada’s Clean Room facilities, ensuring hands-on training in designing, fabricating, and characterizing microelectronic circuits. The program offers a core curriculum and optional specialization routes, taught in English by experts from various institutions.
TFG/TFMs
Co-supervised offerings of Bachelor’s Theses (TFG) and Master’s Theses (TFM) for the degrees in Industrial Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Physics, and Computer Engineering, taught at the University of Granada, aim to enhance training in microelectronics and semiconductors.
Research Start-Up Scholarship Program
Scholarships will be offered annually to Bachelor’s and Master’s students. During the scholarship period, recipients will perform research support tasks under the guidance of a tutor, a professor affiliated with the department, collaborating with doctoral students in following up on experiments, reading and reviewing publications, editing graphs, conducting literature searches, and more. This hands-on experience will enhance their practical skills and deepen their understanding of research methodologies in the field of electronics.
