Is the microelectronics master's program combined with chip design or are they separate courses?

Yes, many microelectronics master's programs include chip design as a core part of the curriculum, rather than treating them as separate courses.

Most programs cover both theoretical foundations and practical skills in areas like digital and analog integrated circuit design, system-on-chip design, and VLSI (very-large-scale integration) circuits. This integrated approach prepares students for careers in both microelectronics and chip design fields.

If you need help finding programs that emphasize chip design, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
