Electrical Engineering (BSc, 4 Years)

The curriculum of the program includes both lectures covering theoretical aspects and laboratory sessions with emphasis given on the design and development of systems and modules. These courses are supported by advanced equipment and state-of-the-art hardware and software facilities for experimentation.  They aim at preparing undergraduate students for a professional career in the industry or for post-graduate studies in Electrical Engineering or a related field.  Great emphasis is given to the process of analysis and design throughout all years of study, and, therefore, projects are included in all of the major theoretical and laboratory courses. This provides the theoretical foundation and the practical skills for our students to successfully complete a demanding final year (capstone design) project at the end of their undergraduate journey.

The program equips students with the ability to identify, formulate and solve problems in the area of Electrical Engineering using techniques, skills, creative thinking and modern engineering tools, necessary for engineering practice. The program offers fundamental courses on mathematics, physics and computer technology, as well as specialized knowledge on areas of electronic circuits, communications, signal processing, electromagnetics, machines, power engineering, microprocessors, VLSI, embedded systems, and many more. Students are free to select elective courses from different thematic areas according to their preferences. Three thematic areas are available:

• Communications and Signal Processing
• Microwaves, Antennas and Optics
• Power and Automation Systems

The program is fully accredited by the Ministry of Education. It has also been approved by the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK) and our graduates are in a position to register as licensed Engineers with ETEK.  The program conforms to the undisputable academic guidelines set by international accreditation bodies such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the United States.  It includes a considerable number of major and elective courses of theoretical and applied nature which add to program diversity and contribute to a foundation of a broad range of skills for career positions in academia and industry.

Also, like all programs of study the University of Nicosia, it is certified by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA).

The University of Nicosia is recognized by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Center (D.O.A.T.A.P.) as equivalent to Greek H.E.I., while the degrees of its graduates have been recognized by D.O.A.T.A.P.
