MA/MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering is a two-year graduate programme at the University of Iceland worth 120 ECTS, made up of 60 ECTS of courses and a 60 ECTS thesis project. The faculty stresses a foundation in communication technology, which students combine with information technology through the courses on offer. Students pick one of two specialisations, Electrical and Computer Engineering itself or a renewable energy track centred on electrical power engineering. They build their study plan together with a supervisor, with the aim of attending courses early on and doing a research project in the later stage. Applicants need an engineering BS degree or an equivalent, with an average grade of at least 6.5, and some preliminary courses may be required. Non-native English speakers provide TOEFL or IELTS results, and all applicants send a one-page letter of motivation.
