Master’s in Sensors and Physical Instrumentation — tanulás innen: Magyarország
Az elektronikai ipar és a beágyazott rendszerek fejlesztése Magyarországon hosszú hagyományokra épül, és a nagy multinacionális elektronikai gyártók hazai üzemei is ehhez kapcsolódnak. A távközlési infrastruktúra fejlesztése és az 5G-hálózatok kiépítése újabb szakembereket igényel. Budapest és Szeged környékén több kutatási és fejlesztési központ működik.
Díjak ide: Magyarország 2 170 000 Ft (magyar forint), részletfizetéssel és vállalati támogatással.
Illetékes szervek: Magyarország

Milyen szakmai testületek és hatóságok foglalkoznak az elektronikai és távközlési mérnöki szakmával Magyarországon?
Az elektronikai és távközlési mérnöki szakmát a Magyar Mérnöki Kamara képviseli, a távközlést pedig a Nemzeti Media- és Hírközlési Hatóság (NMHH) szabályozza. A SEIUM magán-végzettsége nem állami és nem akkreditált, elismerését a munkáltatók döntik el.
Mely munkáltatók alkalmaznak beágyazott rendszer- és távközlési mérnököket Magyarországon?
Magyarországon az elektronikai gyártók, a távközlési szolgáltatók, az autóipari beszállítók és az ipari automatizálási cégek foglalkoztatnak beágyazott rendszer- és távközlési mérnököket. A munkaadók főként a konkrét hardver- és szoftverkompetenciát, valamint a projekttapasztalatot értékelik.
Milyen időbeosztással és nyelvi szinttel végezhető el a 1900 órás mesterképzés?
A 1900 órás mesterképzés online, így munka mellett, otthonról is elvégezhető, de a heti terhelést reálisan kell tervezni. Az oktatás angol nyelven zajlik, ezért jó angol szint szükséges. A díj részletekben fizethető, és munkáltatói támogatás is lehetséges.

How you'll learn
Training is 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine the programme with your job.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is NI LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python with NumPy and SciPy, NI DIAdem and LTspice, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures for laboratory sensor calibration, dynamic characterisation of transducers and field validation of measurement systems. Assessment is continuous for each module, plus the final Master's Thesis.
Standards covered: JCGM 100:2008 (GUM), ISO/IEC 17025, IEC 60751, IEC 60584-1, IEC 61298, IEC 60079-11, ISO 5167 and OIML R 117.
