Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Master’s Programme

This programme aims, primarily, to provide advanced applied knowledge in professional subjects that assume strategic importance for the country and the region. Accordingly, the objectives include the acquisition, by students, of theoretical knowledge and the necessary skills for its application in the fields of Electronics and Telecommunications, or Energy and Automation. The course also aims to enable holders of an Electrical Engineering degree to carry on their studies by allowing the specialization and technical/scientific updating of professionals.
