Profile of the Programme
Aims
The aims of the MSc in Electrical Engineering are to:
- Prepare students to succeed in a constantly growing, highly demanding and competitive technological world;
- Create an academic environment conducive to learning new technologies and engineering concepts;
- Introduce students to research on advanced engineering topics;
- Cultivate analytical skills and critical thinking;
- Provide specialization and extensive knowledge on the areas of concentration;
- Promote engineering ethics and moral practices.
Objectives
The objectives of the programme are to:
- Provide specialized advanced knowledge and tools to our graduates in order to cope successfully in a technologically challenging environment;
- Facilitate learning in areas of electrical engineering that are directly linked to industry and current state-of-the-art technology;
- Provide the theoretical and computational skills necessary for the solution of both theoretical and practical engineering problems;
- Provide practical and experimental hands-on experience that allows the students to link directly to fundamental knowledge and theory;
- Prepare graduates to work alone or in groups in order to provide engineering solutions;
- Prepare graduates to design/implement systems and processes towards the solution of engineering problems;
- Promote research, develop research skills and provide fundamental knowledge to support a successful career in research and development;
- Develop the ability of the graduates to write technical reports and scientific papers as well as to present their work before an audience;
- Provide the graduates with the opportunity to develop a greater technical competence in their area and become successful professionals throughout their lifetime;
- Prepare graduates for admission to a PhD program in electrical engineering.
Career Prospects
Graduates of the Masters’ programme can be employed in a number of sectors including:
- Private companies;
- Public organizations;
- Semi-government organizations;
- Universities and colleges;
- Research institutions;
- Technical high schools and professional training schools;
- Telecommunications companies;
- Army, navy, and defense companies;
- Radar and monitoring system facilities
Access to Further Studies
Graduates of the programme have direct access to 3rd cycle studies (PhD), at this or a related field, at the University of Nicosia or other institutions in Cyprus, the EU and the USA/Canada.
Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, midterms, projects, and class participation.
Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.
The student must complete 90 ECTS. A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D- ‘is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.
Upon successful completion of the programme the graduates will be able to:
- Apply fundamental knowledge of science and engineering;
- Identify, formulate and solve complex electrical engineering problems;
- Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;
- Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints;
- Develop solutions that meet the desired needs within the economic, manufacturing and sustainability borders;
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice and research;
- Function and communicate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams.
