The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program is intended to qualify students to begin a professional career in the field as Engineering professionals or to pursue further advanced post-graduate studies at the level of Master’s or Doctorate degrees. The major engineering courses of the Bachelor’s program contain, apart from theory and fundamental principles, elements of analysis and design, as well as significant laboratory work.

The program prepares the students to have a fundamental understanding of a broad spectrum of topics in Computer Engineering as well as advanced knowledge and in-depth understanding of at least one of the specialization areas of the field. The program builds upon the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and computer technology, offering specialized knowledge on the areas of electronic circuits, telecommunications, microprocessors, VLSI, computer networks, embedded systems, databases, software engineering and many more. Students can select elective courses according to their preferences from two thematic areas:

  • Computer Systems and Networks
  • Software Engineering and Applications

During the course of the program, students acquire extensive hands-on laboratory experience in designing hardware and software solutions for challenging real-world problems as well as an interdisciplinary fundamental knowledge for a more fulfilling and rewarding career. Upon completion of the studies, graduates are equipped with independent thinking and problem-solving skills to tackle real-world Computer Engineering problems. They develop their ability to communicate technical ideas effectively through both oral presentations and written reports. Moreover, the program aims in developing well-rounded individuals with knowledge beyond science and engineering including business, and liberal arts. Computer Engineering graduates have advanced software programming and hardware design skills necessary to analyse and design of computer systems and are well prepared for either an entry-level job in the field or further post-graduate studies.

The program is fully accredited by the Ministry of Education. It has also been approved by the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK) and our graduates are in a position to register as licensed Engineers with ETEK.  The program conforms to the undisputable academic guidelines set by international accreditation bodies such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the United States.  It includes a considerable number of major and elective courses of theoretical and applied nature which add to program diversity and contribute to a foundation of a broad range of skills for career positions in academia and industry.

Also, like all programs of study the University of Nicosia, it is certified by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA).

The University of Nicosia is recognized by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Center (D.O.A.T.A.P.) as equivalent to Greek H.E.I., while the degrees of its graduates have been recognized by D.O.A.T.A.P.
