MASTER INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Objectives
The MSc MobCom aims at providing the theoretical background and the applied know-how for engineers in Mobile Communication Systems.
The goal is to tackle the problems from a system viewpoint, taking a vertical cut and following a cross-layer design approach. This corresponds to both the most recent trend in research and to the most desired professional profile for engineers in this field. In fact, it is now well-recognized that problems related to physical layer transmission techniques (RF design, signal processing algorithms, channel coding and modulation), and upper layer protocols (link layer control, multiple-access, routing), that were traditionally treated in a separate fashion in wired networks, must be treated jointly in mobile communication networks.
Environment
Sophia-Antipolis is considered as a major European region for telecommunications research and development in southern France. EURECOM, which is a consortium of academic and industrial partners, has established over the years a synergy with the local industrial environment on advanced research topics.
During their Master of Science, students will benefit form the expertise of renowned industrial partners (Alcatel, Bouygues, SFR, France Télécom R&D, Philips, Thales, ST Microelectronics, Hitachi, Texas Instruments, IBM, BMW, SAP, Sharp, ESA) as well as the use of cutting edge technological platforms within EURECOM's Wireless Communication laboratory.
Language of instruction : English
EURECOM is proud to have signed double degree agreements with prestigious universities.
Double Degre students have the opportunity to study at EURECOM for their last year of Master in one of the two specialties (Iot or Intelligent communication systems) of our master degree in Networks and Telecommunications.
A special program has been set with a wider choice of courses for the Double Degree Students at EURECOM: after 2 semester of courses and their master thesis at EURECOM, these students will be awarded with the 2 diplomas: The master degree of EURECOM and the corresponding Master of Science at their home university.
Applicants are also invited to consult the FAQ section of the website.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Students need to validate a certain amount of credits per Teaching Unit each semester. Please consult the Academic Schedule and the Frequently Asked Questions for more Information about the schedule organisation.
The Master obtained the SecNumedu certification by the National Cybersecurity Agency of France (ANSSI) and the 3IA Label.

| Semester Project | Unit ECTS: 10.00 | ||||||||||
|
Supervised Semester Projects are based on real-case studies of industrial relevance. They combine a blend of theoretical and practical work (developing new prototypes and tools, testing new technologies, assessing current systems and solutions…). Students can work individually or in group of 2/3. The expected workload is 200 hours of individual work per semester. A defense is organized at the end. Projects provide students with hands-on skills by allowing them to put concepts into practice. (200h) |

SEMESTER 9 - SPRING (30 ECTS) - March - August
| RESEARCH / INDUSTRIAL INTERNSHIP (Paid) | Unit ECTS: 30.00 | ||||||||||
|
The internship is to be carried out in a company or lab in France or abroad. It allows students to get a hands-on experience and ease their entry into the job market. Students work on a research/development project under the supervision of a professor and an industrial mentor. Students are integrated as part of the staff and receive a monthly allowance, the amount of the allowance depends on the company and position. EURECOM helps students find an internship by providing an updated database of paid internship opportunities offered by companies. |
