The program allows students to opt for one of two specializations: the professional option or the research option with three possible lines of research:
- Instrumentation and communications systems.
- Electronic materials and technology.
- Micro- and nanosystems and transducers.

Candidates will be admitted on the strength of their previous studies, academic level attained, and academic record, in accordance with the specific criteria established by the Masters Coordinating Committee.

The Masters in Electronic Engineering is made up of two parts or blocks:

- a common block of core subjects for all options nbsp;
- a specific block

Candidates can be admitted to the common block on completion of:
- First cycle of an honours degree in:
Physics
Telecommunications
Industrial Engineering
Computer Engineering
- Diploma in:
Telecommunications Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Computer Systems
- Degrees introduced within the framework of the European Space for Higher Education (180 ECTS credits)

In some cases, students may have to enrol on a credit-bearing foundation course.

Candidates can be admitted directly to a specific block if they have been awarded a full honours degree (300 credits current system)in
Physics
Electronic Engineering
Telecommunications
Industrial Engineering
Computer Engineering

and any other qualification considered equivalent by the Masters Coordinating Committee.

The general aims of the professional option of the Masters program are to:
- Provide good scientific and applied training in advanced electronic engineering.
- Ensure in-depth knowledge of the methodologies and techniques for the design and analysis of electronic systems.
- Provide a broad base so students can become directly involved in the technological evolution of electronic systems.
- Give students the skills to direct electronic system design projects in the business environment.
- Give students the ability to take over the technical management of R&D departments.
- Provide a good grounding in business management and organization.
- Ensure students have the skills to manage business quality.

The specific aims of the professional option are to:
- Train professionals in the design and management of electronic systems for:
- Instrumentation;
- Information processing;
- Signal processing;
- Electronic systems for communications;
- Electronic systems to control other systems;
- And, fields related to Information and Communication Technology.

The general aims of the research options of the Masters program are to:
- Achieve a good grounding in electronic engineering: in-depth knowledge of the design and use of electronic systems for Control - Instrumentation - Communications - Information Processing.
- Ensure students are able to play a role in new designs and innovative proposals.
- Provide good, up-to-date knowledge on micro- and nanoelectronic technology.
- ensure students can play an effective role in the development and improvement of technological processes.

The specific aims of the research options, depending on the courses chosen, are to be developed in the following areas:
- Transducers, Micro- and Nano systems.
- Electronic Materials and Technology.
- Instrumentation and Communication Systems.

The masters program also undertakes to provide training in the cross-disciplinary skills included within the classification of professional action competences.
