MS in SOC Design from Linkoping, Sweden
I am planning to apply for MS in SOC Design from Linkoping University, Sweden for Fall 2008. I completed my computer engineering from NED last year and want to pursue the field of VLSI Design. I would like to know, from the respected seniors, whether I am right in my decision. Also I am applying to the M.A.Sc program of University of Toronto. Any suggestions as to which one is better.

To my knowledge, University of Toronto is better known than Linkoping. In picking a university, name recognition is always a factor. Besides, you'll probably feel a lot more at-home in Canada than in Sweden. Proximity to US would also bring better industry relationships with big tech giants in the US. If I were you, I'd prefer a US university for this purpose, if a US visa was not an issue. Good Luck with whatever you decide.

yes i agree that University of Toronto is well known and proximity with US would be an advantage. But i have come to know from past SOC Students of Linkoping that this program is funded by Intel and secondly I don't have plans to settle in US or Canada. I am looking to come back to Pakistan once I complete my masters.

ContinueSolar Power Boom in Pakistan
Falling solar panel prices and soaring rates for grid electricity are driving a renewable power boom in Pakistan. A second factor spurring the growth in clean energy installations is the requirement of major western apparel brands for garments and textile manufacturers to switch to clean energy. As a result, the solar panel imports in the country jumped from 2,800 MW in 2022 to 5,000 MW in 2023, in…
