The aim of the Master of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes is to increase the students’ understanding and capabilities in developing integrated power systems and communications systems. By enhancing the knowledge and understanding of electrical and electronic engineering, as well as leadership and inter-personal skills, the programme helps prepare the students to work in the public and private sectors, and establishes a solid foundation to pursue further studies for a career in research and development in the field of electrical and electronic engineering.

The programme also aims to provide continuing professional development opportunities related to the electrical and electronic engineering. Hence, the programme can be delivered through a two-year part-time basis, in addition to the one-year full-time programme.
