OVERVIEW

The MSc (Communications Engineering) programme is designed for practising engineers and information technologists who wish to improve their knowledge and skills in the broad area of communications engineering. The courses offered cover various important topics in telecommunications, RF engineering and wireless communications.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

A candidate will be admitted to the programme either as a full-time or a part-time candidate at the beginning of an academic year. Classes are conducted in the evening on a semestral basis. The requirements for the degree include satisfactory completion of a total of 30 academic units (AUs).
