<h1>Program and curriculum</h1>
</header>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>
The <strong>Edu4Chip</strong> program is a two-year, cutting-edge Master's degree in <strong>advanced chip design</strong>, offered in partnership by the partner universities. It is designed to give you both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, the program's highlight is the <strong>Chip Design Tape-Out Project</strong>, where you will design, manufacture, and test your own chip. An opportunity you will not find in typical microelectronics programs.

<div class="content">
<h3>Foundations</h3>
<p>You will build a strong foundation in digital and analog design. Core courses introduce you to the principles of chip architecture, circuit design, and essential tools used in the industry.</p>
</div>
</article>
<article>
<span class="icon solid fa-pen"></span>
<div class="content">
<h3>Front-end design</h3>
<p>You will dive deeper into front-end design topics, gaining advanced knowledge in areas like system-on-chip integration, verification techniques, and preparing for the chip design project.</p>
</div>
</article>
<article>
<span class="icon solid fa-microchip"></span>
<div class="content">
<h3>Back-end design</h3>
<p>Specialized courses focus on back-end design and physical design. This is when you will begin working on the practical stages of the tape-out project, bringing your chip design to life.</p>

<h2>Flexibility and international exchange</h2>
<p>
Edu4Chip is all about <strong>flexibility</strong>. You can tailor your learning experience by choosing from a wide range of specialized courses at each partner university. <strong>Want to focus on digital design in one unversity, then dive into analog circuits in another?</strong> The program allows you to do just that. Student exchange opportunities make it easy to take advantage of each university’s strengths, ensuring you get the most out of your education.

<h2>Implementation at the partner universities</h2>
<p>
Each partner university integrates Edu4Chip within its existing curriculum, customizing the program according to local regulations and academic structures. Here is how Edu4Chip is implemented across the universities:
