ASC stands for Advanced Signal Processing and Communications
Engineering, and it is a new Master’s programme for students who
want to specialize in this field. The ASC programme is designed for
students with bachelor degree focusing on information and
communication technology. Its diploma is recognized internationally
and meets the requirements for subsequent doctoral studies. The
four-semester curriculum starts in winter. All courses are taught
in English and do not require prior knowledge in German language.
The program emphasizes on fundamental concepts of modern
technologies in the areas of signal processing and communications.
Moreover, through hands-on experiments and research projects,
students can build a solid understanding in one or more of the
technical subjects, including information theory, statistical
signal processing, machine learning, optimization, and game theory.
In addition, we also have a special mentoring program. Students can
choose a mentor professor according to their interested field of
study. Selected mentors will then help the students structuring
their own curricula that are tailored to individual interests and
career goals. The four-semester curriculum includes three special
events. A kick-off seminar right before the winter semester, a
winter school held between the first and second semester, and a
summer school held before the third semester. The kick-off seminar
allows students to get in touch with the professors and each other
before the start of the program. The winter school offers training
on soft-skills, such as project and people management and business
development. Lastly, the summer school prepares the students for
the research-based training by working on scientific projects in a
team. In addition to the events offered by the programme, students
can opt for participation in various events organized by
the Elitenetzwerk Bayern. Germany has one of the most vibrant
manufacturing industries in the world, and engineers are always in
high demand. There are plenty of jobs available for ASC graduates
in the communication industry, as well as any industry that
utilizes embedded system or information technology, such as medical
technology, energy systems (‘smart grids’), or automotive industry.
Advantageously, there are many big companies located in the
Erlangen-Nürnberg area, Alcatel-Lucent, Audi, BMW, Deutsches
HörZentrum Hannover, Dolby Germany GmbH, EADS, Ericsson, Huawei,
IAD, Institut für Rundfunktechnik, Intel, NTT, Sennheiser, Shure,
Siemens, to name a few. The co-operation of FAU and the Fraunhofer
IIS (“Home of MP3“) makes Erlangen a world-wide leader in audio and
multimedia technologies. ASC is a relatively compact program.
Students are closely connected, and will benefit from the strong
connection and networking for more opportunities. With the
combination of our rigorous coursework, research opportunities, and
abundant job resources, our students will be well-equipped to
succeed in their study and career. For further information, visit
