The MSc in Electrical Engineering program has been designed to provide the opportunity for engineering graduates to extend and update their knowledge and skills in the area of electrical engineering with a particular emphasis on power generation, transmission and distribution. The program covers advanced areas in electrical engineering required by engineers responsible for power systems. Details are given below.
| Title of Degree: |
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering |
| Abbreviation: |
MSc (ElecEng) |
| SLQF Level: |
Masters Degree with Coursework and Research Component (SLQF-L10) |
| Credits: |
60 credits (Coursework - 40 credits and research component -20 credits) |
| Programme Mode: |
Part-time |
| Duration: |
24 months |
All lectures and examinations will normally be conducted on weekends during the first year of the course. In the second year of study, students undertake an individual research project of one-year duration on a part-time basis leading to a dissertation. Those candidates who successfully complete the credit requirement in the first year and the research project in the second year will be awarded the Degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
