Master on Communications Engineering and Data Science (M.Sc. CoDaS)

Requirements & Applications

The joint CoDaS M.Sc. Programme targets international students, not only within Europe but also from other regions, such as from Asia, Africa, North America and Latin America, besides the national ones from the Partner Universities’ countries. Students applying to enter the Programme are required to have a B.Sc./B.Eng. degree (with a study duration of at least 6 semesters or 180 ECTS credits) in a technical area related to the Programme, such as computer science, computer engineering, or electrical and computer engineering.  A good background is expected from the students in mathematics and communications.

Starting the academic year of 2023/2024, the Programme will start being offered in two formats:
— as a Double Degree Programme, as started within Unite!, University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering‘s initiative, available to students enrolled at Técnico Lisboa (University of Lisbon), as mentioned below;
— as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) Programme, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

      1. Application  to the Programme depends on the format chosen by the student:
      2. — Double Degree Programme: students have to apply first to MEEC (Specialisation Area in “Networks and Communication Systems”), after which they can also apply to the CoDaS M.Sc. Programme;
