Master of Science in Spectrum Management

About Course

The Master’s in Spectrum Management will offer students a solid system of training in the theory and practice of modern Spectrum Management (SM). Based on an overview of the current situation, the programme will create a unique and credible niche, complementing the existing professional Spectrum Management training options and promoting the harmonization of Spectrum Management practices.

To that end, the Masters in Spectrum Management is broad in scope and international in character, with tutors and participating institutions of the highest quality, so as to ensure the value of the programme and the reputation of its diploma. The programme strives to establish itself as the global “gold standard” for SM training.

An essential differentiator for the Master’s in Spectrum Management would be formalised assessment of learning outcomes in terms of professional skills and qualifications obtained, supported by the award of a diploma representing a recognised academic level.

Programme Structure

Core modules can be reviewed as follows (because of new curriculum and emerging trends in the area):

Spectrum Engineering, Advanced Wireless Communication Systems, Dynamic Spectrum Access and Cognitive Radio, Spectrum Monitoring, and Economic and Market Tools of Spectrum Management

Course Requirement

To qualify for the award of the Masters in Spectrum Management, the student must take and pass all required modules of the programme.

Expected Learning Outcomes

At the end of the programme, the students will be able:

1. Apply spectrum management principles in a complex, multi-layered framework across international, regional, and national levels, demonstrated through real-world case studies and policy implementation exercises.

2. Use the SM concepts to assess the roles and functions of key stakeholders and the legal frameworks governing spectrum management, with an emphasis on producing stakeholder analysis reports and legal assessments.

3. Demonstrate proficiency in the operational principles and processes involved in authorizing radio services (licensing) through simulations and applied licensing exercises for radio services.

4. Integrate interdisciplinary expertise from technical, business, management, and policy aspects of spectrum management into a comprehensive final project, reflecting a holistic approach to managing spectrum challenges.

5. Contribute to research by producing a research proposal on a contemporary issue in spectrum management, positioning students for further studies (e.g., PhD) or professional research roles
