The MUIRF is an official Master’s degree recognized within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). It comprises 60 ECTS credits and focuses on radio frequency (RF) and microwave technologies, making it an excellent choice for professionals seeking to specialize in this field.
The curriculum covers the design of RF circuits and devices, antennas and radiating systems, radar and communication systems, as well as applied electromagnetics, all with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on learning.
The MUIRF is a one-year Master’s program, organized into two semesters.
All classes and assessments will be delivered in Spanish.
Applicants whose native language is not Spanish are required to demonstrate a minimum B2 level of Spanish proficiency.
No. To facilitate part-time attendance, the courses scheduled in Time Slot 1 and Time Slot 2 alternate their timetables in successive academic years. This allows students to complete 100% of the Master’s program over two consecutive years while attending classes within the same time slot.
Yes. In addition, the course timetable alternates in successive academic years to support part-time study. This means you can complete 100% of the Master’s program over two consecutive years while attending classes within the same time slot.
Absolutely. We combine lectures with extensive use of specialized laboratories and technical projects. Students gain hands-on experience using professional measurement equipment and industry-standard simulation software.
The program is taught by faculty members with strong academic, research and industry backgrounds, who actively participate in competitive research projects and collaborate with leading companies in the technology sector.
The MUIRF prepares graduates for RF engineering positions in high-demand strategic sectors such as telecommunications (5G/6G), defense, and aerospace, as well as for technical leadership roles in research and development (R&D).
Yes. As an official Master’s degree, the MUIRF provides direct access to Ph.D. programs.
