Master in Electrical Engineering (M.Sc./M.Eng.)

Electrical Engineering is a broad field that covers many diverse areas of study such as microelectronics, digital communications, wireless systems, optical systems, power systems, signal and image processing, computer technology, microprocessors, automation and control, computational intelligence and robotics, microwaves, antennas, computer networks, etc. Students and faculty in Electrical Engineering also develop synergies with disciplines outside of engineering; for example, with medicine and the life sciences that can lead to education and research in for example biomedical engineering.

The program prepares graduates for distinguished practice in electrical engineering; equipping students with the necessary skills and tools for pursuing engineering solutions to current engineering problems while being responsibly aware of all implications associated with the proposed solution. To that end, the curriculum provides a sound theoretical background along with current, practical tools and techniques for solving complex electrical engineering problems.

The number of places available are announced by the Graduate School with the eligibility criteria for candidates, as well as other required documents that must be attached to the application such as:

• Bachelor’s degree from a recognised University.

• Previous University education in a suitable subject (academic background) and grades of relevant degrees.

• Letters of recommendation.

• Personal interview and/or written examination (if provided by the Department’s internal rules).

• Submission of preliminary research proposal for admission to a doctoral course (if provided by the Department’s internal rules).

The Department may also set additional criteria and quality indicators such as: (a) number of students’ publications in scientific journals, (b) students’ participation in seminars, symposia, research programmes, (c) presentations by students at conferences, (d) knowledge of foreign languages, and (e) professional experience, etc.

Before submitting your application, please read the Postgraduate prospectus and any relevant departmental prospectus. You may also consult the website of the relevant department.

The course offerings provide the student with an opportunity to deepen his or her knowledge in a specific area of electrical engineering, as well as broaden his or her knowledge by also taking courses in a number of other areas of electrical engineering.

Graduate study and research are offered in the areas of:

• Power and Renewables

• Telecommunication Systems and Networks

• Biomedical Engineering

• Signal and Image Processing

• Electromagnetics, Microwaves, Antennas, and Optics

• Intelligent Systems and Control

• Electronic Devices, Instrumentation, Sensors and Nanotechnology

• Electronics

Upon graduation from the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Master of Engineering in Electrical engineering programs, students are expected to have the following abilities and skills:

1. Ability to use software tools as well as develop software programs to solve advanced electrical engineering problems.

2. Knowledge of electrical and electronic components and their use in analog and digital systems.

3. Ability to model, design, analyze and evaluate components and systems.

4. Breadth and depth of knowledge in the areas of:

• Power and Renewables

• Telecommunication Systems and Networks

• Biomedical Engineering

• Signal and Image Processing

• Electromagnetism, Microwaves, Antennas, and Optics

• Intelligent Systems and Control

• Electronics

The University of Cyprus is the only Cypriot university that achieves for the fourth consecutive year to be included in the list of Shanghai 2021 and, specifically among the 601-700 top universities in the world (ShanghaiRanking-Univiersities). The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) was established in 2001. It is an ecosystem where scientists and engineers from different fields work together to solve the most challenging scientific problems. The research focus areas of ECE are control, robotics and autonomous systems, well-being and a smart living environment, industrial electronics and informatics, and power systems and conversion. In a relatively short period of time, ECE managed to establish high quality research, teaching, and outreach activities and this is reflected in the fact that UCY is ranked 201-300 worldwide in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Academic Rankings of World Universities (Shanghai Rankings) for 2021.

The main objective of the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering/Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering program is to educate and train in-depth engineers in various fields of electrical engineering, who will subsequently be able to solve advanced electrical engineering problems using software tools and state-of-the-art equipment. In this problem-solving process, technological constraints and constraints inherent to the problem at hand, both in terms of hardware and software, are taken into account. Furthermore, the program aims to introduce students to the cutting-edge research and innovation currently taking place in the various areas of Electrical Engineering.

The Department host many Research Laboratories, run by Faculty members, that have also been highly successful in attracting significant research funding and where the Department’s graduates can also find employment as researchers and engineers. The Universitys' Career Center offers guidance and support to students and graduates in their professional self-discovery by offering career appointments, events, and the ability to browse and apply for a plethora of vacancies, including internships. Students and graduates can use services to:

- Book application and CV advice

- Browse and book onto events and seminars

- Browse and apply for vacancies and internships.
