Postgraduate degree programmes are driven via the Research Groups in the Department. Each student enrolling for postgraduate studies within the Department needs to identify a postgraduate group that he/she wants to work in and discuss opportunities within this group with the Group Head.
The Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering conducts research in various fields, listed below. The postgraduate program is also presented via these research groups. Follow the links for more information regarding the focus, activities and study opportunities within each group.
