Description 

The Department of Electronic Engineering of the Hellenic Mediterranean University organizes in Chania the Postgraduate Studies Program (MSc) “Electronic Systems of Telecommunications & Automation”.

The MSc, which has a normal duration of three (3) semesters (and a maximum duration of six (6) semesters):

The MSc is particularly aimed at the special needs of those interested in areas related to telecommunications, electronics, automation, and computer science, and is completed in 3 semesters of full-time studies, or more semesters of part-time studies, requiring:
  • or 8 postgraduate courses and 1 postgraduate dissertation,
  • or 12 postgraduate courses.

 

 

MSc No Tuition, No Tuition Fees, No Registration Fees
