Programme Overview

The Master of Science in Electrical & Electronic Engineering is a postgraduate programme by coursework, covering advanced topics across power electronics, power systems, and digital electronics. It is designed for engineers seeking to deepen their expertise while progressing toward a supervised research project.

The programme runs full-time over 1–3 years or part-time over 2–5 years. Students complete core courses, choose elective courses from a specialised majoring track, and conduct a two-part research project before sitting a viva-voce examination to graduate.

Programme Highlights

Structured coursework covering statistics, CMOS circuit design, digital electronics, power electronics, and power systems
Choice of four elective courses from Integrated Circuit Design, Renewable Energy, Robotics, Nanoelectronics, or Digital Communication Systems majoring
Two-part supervised research project (Project I & Project II)
Full-time (1–3 years) and part-time (2–5 years) study options
Graduation requires passing a Viva-Voce Examination
