Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

100% online training 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 the programme can be combined with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink and Keysight PathWave ADS, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures: semi-anechoic EMC test chambers, conducted emissions measurement with a LISN, and radiated immunity and bulk current injection (BCI) benches. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: CISPR 25, UN ECE Regulation No 10, IEC 61851-21-1, IEC 61851-21-2, CISPR 12, ISO 11452, ISO 7637-2 and Directive 2014/30/EU.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of CISPR 25, UN ECE Regulation No 10 and IEC 61851-21-1 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink and Keysight PathWave ADS, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:a complete EMC project, from source and coupling analysis to filtering and shielding design, testing, redesign and compliance file, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
