Overview

The Electrical Engineering, PhD course from the University of Cyprus 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 biomedical engineering.

The main objective of the PhD program in Electrical Engineering program is to advance the existing knowledge in the various areas of Electrical Engineering and enable students of exceptional ability to undertake advanced study and conduct original research.

The program focuses on technology issues for cutting-edge technologies.

Students can conduct research in an area of concentration that is related to one, or more, areas of Electrical Engineering offered at the department such as:

Power and Renewables
Telecommunication Systems and Networks
Biomedical Engineering
Signal and Image Processing
Electromagnetics, Microwaves, Antennas, and Optics
Intelligent Systems and Control
Electronic Devices, Instrumentation, Sensors and Nanotechnology
Electronics

The program prepares graduates with in-depth knowledge and research competence of the highest caliber to fill positions in research organizations, universities, governmental organizations and the industry. The program consists of advanced studies and research leading to new/original knowledge and significant contribution beyond the current stateof-the-art in the chosen research area.

The successful completion of the candidates’ research is demonstrated via their doctoral dissertations, which must showcase both the ability to perform independent research as well as the candidates’ competence towards the production of new knowledge and novel results that are of the highest quality and academic standards and exhibits academicexcellence. A Ph.D. dissertation in the field of Electrical Engineering is expected to present original research of advanced level for a significant problem in the field, and should provide the basis for publishable contributions to the research literature in the field.
