Master's degree in
Telecommunications Engineering (MET)
The master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering is a training proposal that is adaptable to the needs of two types of students: those who wish to focus on a professional career and those who wish to pursue a doctoral degree in the area of telecommunications engineering.
This master’s degree provides graduates with a broad profile that includes skills and expertise in communications systems, networks, electronics and audiovisual systems to ensure that they have the professional competencies that they need to practise as telecommunications engineers. After the first, compulsory subject area, students can choose from a wide variety of subjects to acquire a general profile, specialise in a field, or engage in research and pursue a doctoral degree.
The aim is for the graduates to enter modern industry as benchmark professionals in the new multidisciplinary work and production scenario. To increase their employability, students can take both the master’s thesis and some of the ECTS credits for optional subjects in a company or laboratory.
MET has a strong international character. It is taught entirely in English as it is expected that a large number of students will be from other countries. There is also the possibility of obtaining a joint degree with another internationally renowned university.
MET is the only “Qualifying master’s degree”
The areas in which graduates of this master’s degree may find employment are similar to those for graduates of the five-year degree in Telecommunications Engineering, although their profiles are enhanced by an extra academic year.
The generic competencies established by the UPC are capacity for innovation and entrepreneurship, sustainability and social commitment, knowledge of a foreign language (preferably English), teamwork and proper use of information resources.
Given the cross-disciplinary nature of telecommunication, graduates of this degree may pursue careers in a broad range of sectors related to telecommunication technology.Their careers may lead them to practise as:

The master in Telecommunications Engineering is offered at the
Escola Tècnica Superior d'enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona (ETSETB),
member of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC).
Compulsory subjects. There is a lot of flexibility enrolling these subjects.
If the student does not want to follow any of the intensification tracks, any of the available elective subject can be chosen. In case of following an intensification track, the student must do a minimum of 20 ECTS of elective subjects from the chosen intensification track.
These credits can be divided between:
You can check in Departament d’Enginyeria Electrònica the diferent research groups where the student can develop his thesis.
The sessions will take place at Aula de Teleensenyament (1st floor, building B3) and Sala Multimèdia (-2nd floor, building B3) respectively and also you will be able to assist virtually (by Google Meet).
The Master's coordinator will present the master program and answer all queries and doubts. In addition, academic administrative staff will be present to inform about all administrative issues.
This master will participate in the 2025 UPC Virtual Postgraduate Fair, scheduled for March (From 3rd to 7th). Following this, an additional informative session specifically focused on this master will take place on the 5th of March.
