Program Overview

The ME in Electrical & Electronic Engineering is a Level 9, 60 ECTS programme for graduates of accredited BE degrees. It combines advanced technologies, transferable skills, and a research thesis in areas such as embedded systems, signal processing, power electronics, and biomedical electronics.
