MSc by Research in Electrical and Electronics Engineering | International Studies at the University of West Attica
The aim of this program is to offer graduate-level studies leading to the Master of Science By Research in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The major objectives of the program are to produce graduates that (i) are specialized in an area of their choice within the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, (ii) have acquired adequate research skills and experience in order to staff research teams in research institutions and laboratories, (iii) are able to make an informed decision as to whether they should engage in PhD studies in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Prospective students are expected to have an engineering or sciences background. Ideally, they should hold a diploma on Electrical, Electronics, Computers or other engineering field, or a degree on Computer Science, Mathematics or Sciences. Graduates of other disciplines may also be accepted for research in cross-disciplinary subjects, upon establishing through their portfolio and interview adequate skills and personal interest for research that will guarantee the completion of the Programme.
This is not a typical MSc Programme with taught courses: the character of study is highly diversified according to the specific area of research chosen by the student. Certain areas require the presence of the student in the lab for taking measurements and carrying out other experimental procedures, while other areas require mainly computer work that may be done and supervised remotely; hybrid requirements are often the case, as well. To orient candidates as to the requirements of each area, places offered are accompanied by a research title, a short description of contents, expected outcomes and expected type of student contribution, as well as the background of an ideal candidate. Moreover, candidates are strongly encouraged to get in contact directly with the academic supervisor of each advertised research title they are interested in, in order to clarify all relevant questions and practical issues before applying.
A call for applications is issued annually, after endorsement by the Assembly of the Department. The call opens 25 places (maximum) grouped under research areas of specialization within the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering as these are proposed by the academic staff members willing to supervise research in the respective area. In addition to the area of specialization, each place is accompanied by a proposed research title, brief description, prerequisite knowledge and skills and expected research outcomes. Areas of specialization, as listed below, are mentioned on the MSc title conferred:
- Energy
- Telecommunications
- Electronics
- Computing Systems
- Cross-disciplinary areas: Defense / Education / Biomedical / Marine / Industrial Automation technologies
Working language: English
Instruction mode
- face-to-face in class,
