Objectives
This MASTER’s is a degree from the University of Limoges (France) for students with five years of post-secondary education who are preparing to become specialist engineers in architectures of emission and reception of the main current communications systems in the fields of radio communications (microwave/optical electronics), radar, radio navigation, digital television and optics.
Skills
Upon completion of training, students will have acquired comprehensive knowledge relating to systems implemented to ensure the smooth operation of terrestrial, guided or optical links by learning the fundamental principles governing them, such as:
- the diagrams of the main architectures of optical or microwave communication systems,
- the optical or microwave subsystems that are essential in these architectures for transmission of digital and/or analogue data,
- the signals associated with these architectures and subsystems (baseband or modulation),
- the techniques for emission and reception of signals for the various architectures anticipated (telecommunications, radar, radio navigation, digital television)
- the simulations at the system level of these terrestrial or guided links depending on expected performance for communication with the criteria of quality provided.
At the end of the course, each student has a descriptive appendix entitled “Supplement to Degree” which provides a precise description of the university curriculum followed and the skills acquired during the period of study as well as a fair evaluation of progress made and skills acquired.
Number of ECTS credits: 120
Registration fee
Approximately 480 euros for initial training (including social security).
Campus France
The University of Limoges belongs to the agency Campus France and the facility CEF (Centre pour les Études en France). International students who live abroad (outside the EU, excluding BGE/BGF [holders of scholarships awarded by the French government and foreign countries, respectively]), wishing to pursue their studies in Limoges, must file their applications with the agency Campus France. A Centre pour les Études en France exists in the following countries: Algeria, Argentina, Benin, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chile, China, Colombia, Comores, Gabon, Guinea, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Japan, Lebanon, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Republic of Congo, Russia, Senegal, South Korea, Syria (suspended), Taiwan, Tunisia, United States, Vietnam.

Organisation of the curriculum
Open distance learning (ODL). All information is available on the course website.
The MASTER’s includes an annual reunion at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Limoges, for Practical Work. This group is held for 15 days in February.
Compulsory work placement, also called professional development, lasting 4 to 6 months at a company or performing research work in a laboratory.
