Key Summary
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.
University of Cyprus and Chevron sign scholarship agreement
Three scholarships are available to postgraduate students pursuing engineering degrees
The University of Cyprus School of Engineering and Chevron Cyprus Limited have reached an agreement under which Chevron will provide three scholarships, totalling €15,375, to students pursuing master's degrees in selected engineering fields.
The three scholarships worth €5,125 each, concern master’s programs in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, respectively.
They are open to students starting in September 2025 and students who secured admission for studies commencing in January 2025. Applicants must meet certain financial, social, and academic requirements to qualify. It should be noted that the scholarships only cover tuition fees and do not include living expenses or any other related fees.
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cyprus, Professor Marina Neophytou stated: “These scholarships enhance accessibility to postgraduate education, providing talented young men and women with the opportunity to dedicate themselves to their studies in the fields of Engineering and fully realize their academic and professional potential. Through such initiatives, we empower the next generation of engineering professionals, investing in a more innovative and sustainable future. For this reason, we extend our sincere gratitude for the generous contribution of Chevron Limited, with whom we hope to develop a meaningful partnership in strengthening the connection between the School of Engineering, industry, and society.”
Elias Orphanou, Director of Chevron Cyprus Limited, said: “The scholarships are part of Chevron Cyprus’ commitment to investing in young talent and fostering a culture of innovation and advancement in engineering. We are confident that this initiative will help students pursue STEM careers and bring new perspectives to innovation”.

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. 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.
