Degree objectives

The Master's Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MEEC) is divided into two areas of specialisation: Renewable Energy and Power Systems (ERSP) and Computers and Cyber-Physical Systems (CSC). This Master's degree ensures the acquisition of professional specialisation through a high level of practical laboratory work and the completion of a dissertation/project with companies, thus promoting the integration of students into the job market. In this way, the Master's degree provides a high degree of versatility in the various areas of specialisation and, on the other hand, provides an integrated view of the problems associated with them, thus ensuring the ability to intervene in their different domains.
